Finished all requirements... Now I wait.



Recommended Posts

I finally finished all my requirements! Everything has been submitted to my insurance..... The wait begins! This is going to be the longest 2-4weeks lol. To be honest before I started this process I never thought about WLS, then my doctor recommended it due to my PCOS, insulin resistance my heart condition (leaky valve), family history of diabetes (I'm pre diabetic) and heart attacks (my dad and uncle had one last year, both my grandfather's died of heat attacks) . I always thought it was the 'easy way out' but seriously since going through the last 5 months of nutrition visits, Trainor visits, changing my eating habits, logging my food, all the tests, the support groups ect... it's def not easy, its a complete lifestyle change. You gotta be 100% committed. I'm glad I started this journey. I'm thinking surgery will be sometime in April. Anyone else waiting for approval!?.... Impatiently haha

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
