As my surgery date approached, and I hate surgery, I just kept telling myself this had to be done just like my gallbladder had to come out, and it put me more at ease. Try to tell yourself you really have no choice in the matter, it just needs to be done, for your health of course. The preop for me was 2-3 shakes a day and 1 low carb meal so it was not that bad, good luck. I am now 7 months post sleeve and down 84lbs.

That's my surgery date I hope if insurance stop tripping. My insurance company is Cigna and the JUST sent me a letter stating that my insurance won't cover it because their medical Dr looked over my medical information and it's not a medical problem in my case so I THINK I'm denied the coverage. I'm pissed. However my bariatric team says that my insurance cleared it. That was 11 am today. Part me wants to tear this letter up and act like I didn't receive it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
