Hey guys, so I'm new! I'm kayla and I'll be 29 in July. So June is my final month with my PCP for the 6 months of guided weight loss before insurance will let me see the surgeon. My highest weight has been 380, the lowest I was able to get was 363. Which was for my 5th month visit. At the same time I was put on non weight bearing status for 2 stress fractures in my left foot and was put in a boot. So after not being able to walk for 6 wks I've gained 10lbs back. I have 20 days till my last app with my PCP,I'm becoming increasingly anxious wondering if the Dr will still do the surgery. I know its not going to do me any good to worry but I still can't keep from it. I wasn't told I had to lose a certain percent or set number of pounds. Ive included a pic of the list of requirements and things to do in order to qualify for the surgery. Thanks for letting me vent :) I look forward to getting to know y'all !

@@Kyn13 It will most likely depend on your Surgeon. At higher BMIs, they often want a weight loss prior to surgery so there are less risks. You may have a pre-op diet to reduce the size of your liver and you will certainly lose weight then. The fact that you lost a good amount during your supervised program is great!! Don't stress - whatever happens will be for the best. Good luck!

      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.

        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.
