Hooray! Another step towards surgery complete!



Recommended Posts

I know it's not alot of progress but I did the seminar in Sept and just did my consult and measurements today!

They scheduled my phsyc eval for 1/8.... After that I just have to wait till april when my dietitian appts will be complete... Such a long road but there will be an end I am sure. Every appt just makes it a little closer :scared:

All the "hoops" we have to go through are nothing when you think of the quality of life we're gaining!!

It took me seven months too, but the time really did fly (March to October) and luckily you have all the holidays to help the time whiz by.

Best of luck to you Brandy~

I had my consultation last week and it went terrific!

I don't have any co-mortalities (yet) so was told I could get banded within the next 30 days if I wanted. I just have to get financing in order since I am self pay. I can get my labs, dietitain and preop done all in the same week, then 2 week pre-op diet and I will be ready to go!

Hoping to get banded in late January. I wanted to be banded in late December but the hubby remided me that I have a few commitments that do not fit into a pre-op or soon after post-op way of life.

My hoops are getting smaller!!

It only took 7 & 1/2 months but I am scheduled for banding on Tuesday November 27th, 2007!

I have the sniffles. I live in a 'cold' state. Will this be enough for the doc to want to rechedule surgery? I hope not. Anyone?

      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!
