The wait(weight) is almost over!



Recommended Posts

So Friday the 3rd of October is finally my last day of my 6 month supervised diet. I am so exicited. I will be weighed and then on Monday the 6th all of my paperwork will be faxed into the insurance and then I wait for approval. I was told approval would most likely take a week, then I can make my appts for the preop diet, surgeon. At the surgeon appt I get the EGD appt and surgery appt. So sometime in the next few weeks I'll have an official date for my banding and will be starting preop! I have lost 26.5 lbs so far...hope to have lost more on Friday. On my 2 week preop diet I will be having a Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and lean meat and veggies for dinner. I have to lose at least 5 lbs on it. Don't think it should be too much of a problem. The estimated date is November 3rd or November 10th. We will see though! I know it's November! The time has been flying by and now that it's almost here everything seems to be going so slow. I am ready to be a bandster!!! Froggi is ready for Bandland!:thumbdown:

Good for you, froggi!!! It's hard to believe you're almost there.

I was in P-burg a few weeks ago, and saw a billboard ad for lap band surgery at Camden Clark, and I thought about you and how far you've come. Keep up the good work!!!

      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!
