Oh it is, it is. After going through another program (Curses be upon Them!) not once but twice, quite a. twisted story there, I joined OSU's and I SHOULD HAVE been there from the beginning back in August 2015. 2 things bad about program# 1
They wasted my time and my insurances money And Secondly,they didn't appreciate me or work with me for success.
But No Never Mind, I'm where I should have gone in the first place and THEY are WONDERFUL!

I had my consultation this morning and per my insurance, I need to do a 4 month diet along with the psych evaluation and lab work for approval. The surgeon recommended me for the RNY which wasn't my first choice but I guess it makes sense considering the amount of weight I need to lose and my lifestyle. Overall, I'm excited for the process, even with my birthday being in the middle of the 4 months.

Congrats on getting your date! I don't have a date quite yet but fingers crossed I get one. Just think, you'll be giving yourself a wonderful birthday present: the start of a new chapter.

I know! Hope you get your date soon too! They were going to schedule me for 9/14 but that was1 day after the season opener for the Bengals (we have season tickets) and there was no way I was going to be on Clear Liquids during that game! Lol! 😂 The rest of the season....sure! But give me one last game. Priorities you know ...😝

      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!
