I have been researching WLS for over 3 yrs. and except for an insurance exclusion I am going to have it done. My PCP told me today I just needed to go to see a nutrtionist or get a good calorie counting book. I was so mad. I am a type 1 diabetic of 23 yrs. so I have been on a diet for quite a long time and have seen my share of nutritionist. They always have a way of telling you "ALL" the bad stuf you are doing but give you little information on how to change it. I am having alot of complications start and feel that if I don't do something soon it may be to late. I just get so tired of the lack of knowledge about obesity and living with it. I might add that on a wet day he weighs about 130lbs.! Ok, sorry to vent. God bless, Donna

Yeah...I love nutritionist too...This is what a portion should look like :) Instead of eating like you have for the last 25 years...Why don't you cut that down into half and you'll start loosing weight....I swear! If I had that kind of control over myself, I wouldn't be in this situation!

      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.

      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!
