Mischievous - I am having BR on June 3rd. All I did was go to one of the plastic surgeons on my insurance plans. I went 2/25 to get assessed. They took pictures and told me they'd call if I got approval. They did everything with the insurance. They called in early April and said I got approval. When I first made the appointment they said to bring in any documentation I had of back or neck pain but that I didn't really need it. Less than 30 days away, I'm terrified!!!!

Good for you for taking that initial step...that's the HARDEST part. I want to get a TT or LBL as well so thought I'd wait until I lost another 20 lbs and then go for my initial consulation on all procedures, in the meantime I've been looking into surgeons in my area (Portland, OR) and putting $$ aside for my new body. (I feel so guilty because I have ALWAYS worked, I also just finished my BSBA in 2003 and am still paying that off, and now i'm a stay home mom and have NO income and I want all this expensive/risky surgery -even though it will benefit my DH, it is really for ME and I feel it is selfish and a bit guilty because of that. My DH supports it though as he spoils me rotten and my every wish is his command....yeah you wonder why I married him ??)

      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.

      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!
