Hi Everyone ,

I am here in need of some encouraging motivational words. I have one more appt on June 20,2017 of my six month insurance required visits. I just did #5 today. I am feeling sooo depressed, like this is just within reach but so far away. (: I have cleared all the hurdles, excrpt the last blood work for pre-op. I am just feeling like this has been a long road and hoping nothing will happen to Detour my surgery. I am always a positive person and I am so motivated and ready for the change. I will do anything they tell me to make this a success. Its just such a long time.

Have any of you felt like this? Have you felt like you will never be posting those before and after pics? Are you afraid that you wont lose weight, like maybe all this waiting and it wont bring results?

i know I feel like i am spiraling with all these thoughts. I am just so ready to not be over weight, unhealthy, disabled, walking slow like an old lady, uncomfortable in my clothes, watching youtube videos of before and after and crying my eyes out. Seeing myself as a smaller person until I see a pic and freaking out at how large I am. Watching my 600lb life and seeing these people change their lives, so inspiring and most of all, ,,feeling as though I am the one who maybe wont see but 25lbs come off.....

I think the insurance companies should never make us wait so long. I am 5'1 , 269lbs., hbp, diabetic, with one kidney and lymphedema. I am soooo ready!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for listening to me rant and cry......damn it's a bad day.. .. (:

      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!
