So I received my authorization today , the next step is to consult with surgeon and set the surgery date. Wow😯 , this is all real and now it’s happening fast , I’ve worked really hard in my 24 week classes and lost 31 lbs in the process, but just knowing my life is about to change big time sends little butterflies flying in my stomach , I’ve been really researching and I am now leaning towards the sleeve , I think this will be the best for me , I am 5’7 and currently weighing 305 , my realistic goal is 200 lbs hopefully in 1 year and after that skip that bridge when I get to it. Anyone else looking at a possible surgery in late June of early July , Talk to me 😐

It is at once,scary, thrilling, and a powerful prospective change you will be going through. ai can give you the results of my studies, the stories I've heard on her and my,own beliefs on the subject,but I also,have not,have my Day of DAYS. Next month, July 2018 will be,my,own REBIRTH opportunity. I don't have a concrete date, will have to be after July 2nd, my guess is July 15th, because I have a liquid liver'shrinking diet to complete. Bit no matter the exact date, I am more than prepared. It has been so long I have developed several motors. The first one: All,my Fears drowned,in my Tears. Then: Rny in July,or I'll Cry! lastly:
it is the Right time
At the Right Place
For the Right Reason
It is the Right surgery
Performed by the Right surgeon
And to the Right Person *ME!
So you see I am calm, peaceful And self-assured for I believe
Everything's Going to be All Right!

      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.

        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!
