I have a surgery date!



Recommended Posts

The surgeons office called today and they’ve scheduled me for August 13th.

But ... she said my weight was down and they want me to stay at 240. Last weigh in was 238 and I’ve since lost 3 more lbs.

I have to get it back to 240 and hold it there for my weigh ins. She said the insurance companies are weird about comorbidities and they need me to keep my BMI at 40.

WTH!

Congrats on the surgery date!!! I would love for someone to tell me I needed to gain 5lbs before surgery. :lol:

Maybe you can invest in some ankle weights and wear those for your weigh ins. lol

Also, since your date is this summer, you're invited to join our Summer Surgery Group:

That’s what I told my husband! Coins in my pockets, ankle weights, heavy shoes...

Holy kwap, I can’t hold my weight steady til August and I’m not supposed to go over my initial weight either!

I’ve been trying to not keep junk food around as my husband is in the final stretch for his May surgery date. I guess I’ll just eat healthy in bigger portions and deal with the weigh ins each month as they come. [emoji849]

I can imagine how frustrating that must be. But as you said, just take one weigh in at a time.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
