Thank you for the welcome! Your weight loss is amazing! That's actually right where I want to be. I'm very excited! I am seeing Dr. Wilkenfeld there in Conroe at 242 and 45. Do you have any input on him?

Debbie, thanks so much for taking the time to respond and offer your words of encouragement. You know, it hit me about three weeks ago that I've spent an ENORMOUS amount of time negatively thinking/dieting/dealing with weight and I am so hopeful that taking this step will begin to put an end to that. I am very excited to get started!! Your weight loss is amazing!

Thank you for taking the time to respond and CONGRATULATIONS on your amazing weight loss. I am very excited to get started on this journey! I am still waiting for approval but am very hopeful because apparently my insurance is good and approves within 1-2 weeks. I'm seeing Dr. Wilkenfeld at I45 and 242, just in to Conroe. Have you ever heard of him? Again, thanks for the time in responding! kathi

Oh wow, I used to live on the Houston/Spring border (I-45 and 1960)!! Welcome. I am new too. I will have my psych eval on Thursday which, thankfully, is the ONLY thing my insurance company requires of me to get this thing started!

      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!
