Newbie saying hello



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! My name is Angel and I'm from Alabama. I'm just starting this journey and I've been reading for a while now. Just wanted to introduce myself. I went and met the surgeon today so now I begin my 6 months of insurance requirements. I look forward to reading more and getting to know you. I'm going to have the sleeve surgery and if all goes accordingly I'll have it in March 2017.

Welcome! I'm new here as well. My consult with the surgeon was today but I started my physician supervised diet in early July. If all goes well, I should have surgery in February. I'm so impatient because I took a long time to do my research and make my decision - now I want it done! It was nice to talk to the support staff who reassured me that my insurance rarely denies people if they've completed the six month diet correctly. Time will fly, I'm sure...at least I hope :)

      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!
