I had my second dietician appointment today..lost 7 lbs! I have a letter of support (tomorrow), endoscopy (June 15), and my last dietician appointment (July 6), then it's off to the insurance company for pre-approval!

Fingers crossed I have no issues getting a letter of support, and I don't drop anymore weight (I have to maintain or I drop my BMI to 39).

Penciled in tentatively for July 23rd or July 30th.

Started this Journey May 10th, man it's going fast!

Man, I'm jealous! I had my first real appointment way back in early January, and I'm not even to my next surgeon's appointment yet... I don't see him again until mid July! I guess it's just the product of being in a very small market with only a few surgeons, all of whom take vacations in the summer. But I'm ready to go and still thinking, will it be late summer? Will it be the fall? Will it ever happen?

Congratulations on getting there quickly, hope it all goes great. :)

I think the only reason mine went quick was because my insurance has no "waiting period", and I got everything done ASAP. They scheduled everything for me (excpet psych). I just got my letter of support, so my 2 lasts are the endo and my 3rd nutrition visit. I have to call tomorrow to make my pre-op pcp medical clearance. My new and official date is July 25. Fingers crossed I don't drop any weight between now and then.

      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!
