So yesterday I went to see my surgeon and give him all the results from the testing he order, also my psych evaluation and the letter from my pcm giving the ok, they said they are confident that is enough for the insurance to approve, they schedule a tentative day of June 10 for surgery and we should know by the end of next week ???????????? I want to be excited but then I'm like what if they say no, also having a surgery day is scaring me a little is happening so fast that is making me wonder if I will be able to go ahead with it. I know this is the best the thing for me I've tried for years to lose weight and I have, but it comes back, then I have the days where I don't feel like 230 is that bad I know it is, im 5'3 so that's a lot but I guess or at least hope I'm not the only one who has felt like this I hope the insurance does approve and I know I'll get over it just now my brain is running crazy ????

Try to relax............I'm just like you. I can lose weight and have even lost a significant amount when I set my mind to it...I lost 60lbs and in less than 8 months it was all back plus another 30......I've joked before, saying I should be in the Guinness Book of World Records for how much and how fast I can gain weight!!! Portion Control is my main problem and the sleeve will help me address that!! My surgery is Monday and I can'n't hardly wait to get started with this new part of my life! Good luck to you. The waiting is the worst part of this process!!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.
