Hi all....my last visit was on Friday 7/8/16...jst waiting on PCP to send in his "Support Letter" (which the nurse sd by this Friday 7/15) & then Midwest Bariatrics (of Neenah, WI) will submit everything for approval (I don't foresee a problem at all)....

I asked how long after approval do they usually schedule surgery .... She said only two weeks!! ....yaaaay! I asked if there was a preop liquid diet.... She said no just continue to eat how you're eating your liver should be small enough.... So I anticipate an August date!! I can't wait ...so it seems more real!!!

I do have a FB That I specifically made for bariatric support.... And I would love anyone who wants to add me to feel free!! Especially anyone who has surgery in August!! Obviously I would love to have people who have been through it (to answer any questions)... Also anyone who is anticipating it (who has any questions)....plz let me know if you want to add me!! Thank you for your time & support!!!

      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!

        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!
