If I'm doing this wrong I'm sorry... I'm new here



Recommended Posts

... so I'm returning to this app after giving up on trying to add my birthday and age which I noticed from clicking random profiles... seem to be empty for a lot of people...

I don't really know if I have a "story yet".... I have a collection of completed appointments, more miles on my car, less cash than what I started with but tons of priceless knowledge and endless determination to press forward. In about 30 minutes it will be Christmas Eve and on Monday of this week I completed my last appointment and have not been able to reach the scheduler since. Perhaps she took off for the holidays. Would have been nice to get a date or just to know something. I left so many messages this week first waiting to hear back from her then from anyone... needless to say, there has not neither. That's the part I don't like... the not knowing... considering this was something she could have provided a date for.

My church will be fasting starting January 1st -21, so I am not concerned about the liquids part. But it would be great to get a date within or around that time. Would it happen that quickly? Considering today is The 23rd? Maybe I'm just looking for direction when I need to wait it out... huff puff... it's been a journey... I will make it, this I know.

They maybe on vacation but once everything is submitted and your insurance approve you they'll give you at date. I'm pretty new as well my first visit was nov.17th. And I have everything on this app filled out except my surgery date ???? I hope this helps a lil....

As far as the app it doesn't really give me an option to edit or anything... but maybe it's just something I'm not doing. I just figured out how to like a post and all today as well. Thanks for responding !

      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.

      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!
