Alright! I had my endoscopy done. All clear. Completed sleep study, had my 2nd of 6 weigh-ins. Down 7 pounds. Psych Evaluation in May. My bs has been in a more acceptable range. I am chugging along. I have been drinking Protein shakes most days and found a few that I like. New goal is to replace one meal a day everyday with a shake. I am chugging along. Hope everyone has a blessed day.

One step at a time, or with the WLS process-----one hoop jumped at a time!

It's a tangled mess of appointments, but the process will keep you busy until you get your surgery.

Get going-----heading for second and hoping to steal third! :)

Prayers going up.

Just curious are you using doctors that your surgeon recommended for your insurance criteria ?? Mine were not covered so I am using my own and just passing the info to my surgeon to be submitted to my ins company . But I have consult forms that I printed on line and asking the Drs to fill them out .

Yes, I have been using the medical providers my surgeon recommended. It so happens they all have been in my network for Insurance. I have a very high deductible if I don't stay within my enhanced network so I check and if it's not in the special network I ask my surgeon for another recommendation.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.Β  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.Β  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.

      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!
