Stepping out of denial...



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I just stepped out of denial and into the light about my ongoing weight problem recently and decided that there was only one option left-weight loss surgery.

I, like many of you have been on every diet imaginable since I was 17; it is a list of around 10 diets or so, not to mention the seperate times I tried them again and again!

I have a good friend that had LB surgery done last fall. We have the same insurance, and she is a valuable asset in knowing what to do to get the process completed.

My surgeon evaluation is next Tuesday, my BMI is 40.0, and my insurance is BCBS of KC (kansas city). I am 37 years old and ready to roll...:lol:

Wish me luck!! :unsure:

I am new to the site and want to put the weight loss ticker on but am not sure how to do it. I saw yours and set mine up from there but when I was told to copy and paste it, I wasn't sure where to put it. Can you help?

I had the exact same problem. GO to "ticker stuff" in the intro's and follow to the tutorial that someone set up. It really helped 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'. ???

      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.

      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!
