So I was accepted into the program and go to the 4 hour class in a few days. They said they're going to weigh us and to wear light clothes. Anyone gone through thia recently? Do they weigh you in your clothes? Make you remove your shoes?

I'm going to South Sacramento.

So, they just check you in, weigh you, then you go into the class?

In front of other people? Or in a separate room?

It was in front of the class but the line was set back so no one could see your weight. But each location does things differently. Richmond keeps the process moving. I had orientation 10/21 could have had surgery 12/19 but it was too close to my husband on 12/21 so mine was 1/9.

I would wear heavier clothes. For Kaiser you have to lose 10% of your highest weight in the last 12 months to be scheduled for surgery so the heavier you are for initial weigh ins, the better (unless you've already had a high weight recorded for this 12 months which is higher than you are now)

      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!
