Get my surgery date next month-NERVOUS!



Recommended Posts

I get my surgery date December 13, and I’m a bit nervous. I’ve read so many great success stories but what I’m scared most of all is of the dumping or loosing too much weight. I’m already starting with a low BMI of 33. But all my health issues (with type 2 diabetes being most important) is what keeps me from steering myself away from surgery.

I’m happy for ya, and remember you control what you loose too is not all the bypass, when you reaching your desirable weight increase your calories. Or build muscle. So don’t be afraid of it. I’m doing it for almost the same reason, mine is just a bad history.

Thank you!! I have a ton of other qualifying health conditions as well, but I have a 1 year old daughter and I want to be healthy for her and not worrying about having to battle with diabetes! Thanks for the great advice about increasing calories and building muscle! Will look into that once I’ve reached my goal!

Hi there - we are (sort of) surgery twins - my surgery is 14th in New Zealand, which is 13th in most of USA still! My BMI is not as low but in the lower end too.

Good luck - I look forward to having someone to share post op recovery and then weight-loss journey stories with.

      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!
