Yes she fibbed and said I weighed 250 in April. And I've also been wearing ankle weights and have been taking a pound out every time I go in. So the doc thinks I weighed 242 or something. But I really weighed less. Anyway this way I can lose the weight before surgery and was heavy enough to start process in April. I got this idea from this site! Lol. I've been going every month to see NUT and they said my insurance will approve. I also have BCBS. I just still worry there will be something that says not approved. I'm nervous. Anyway, good luck to you as well mama!! This is gonna be awesome for us!!!

I'm scheduled for November 17th. One week exactly before thanksgiving. lol

I had the lapband removed last summer of 2015 cause it slipped. That band was hell for the entire 4.5 years I had it. I'm scared and excited.

I am also from MN! Am self pay, so I'm going to Florida. Date set for Nov 8. Now that I have a date set, reality has struck so I'm anxious. My sister was sleeved a year ago and is very successful, which calms my fears.

I know this is an old thread but I had my Bypass on 11/2/15. I had a revision from a lap band to RNY, my insurance covered it, thank God! I'm 5'7" and my highest weight weight was 340. I now weight 152. Two more pounds and I will be in the normal weight for my height. It's been amazing! I haven't had any complications. I hope you all are doing great!

      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.

        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!
