Consultation tomorrow! eek! :O



Recommended Posts

I just got a call from Dr. Van Wagner's office and I am scheduled for a consult at 3:30 tomorrow! eeek! :blushing::thumbup::rolleyes::cry_smile: Lots of mixed emotions.

I discussed my arthritis and that I do have concerns about the band bc of that and she said she would flag my chart for the dr to talk to me about both the RNY and the band.

I may go with the RNY after talking to him but I just wanted to let everyone know here who has helped me the last few days that I am making a step forward... wish me luck!

The lady with the office did say that my insurance UHC will be easy to deal with since I do actually have a bmi of 40 (gained weight since the seminar, sounds awful but I wanted to get up to a 40bmi). My husband is going to be in shock that it;s coming so soon, but I just need to get this ball rolling.

I am working with Dr Wagner's office too. They are really good to work with. I think UHC seems to be a good insurance--they don't require a weightloss program (I think). My insurance does, so I am actually waiting for their approval now.

Good luck with your consultation.

      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!
