Hi!

I just recently started my "permanent" weight loss journey. Here's some info on me:

I've done the psych evaluation and met with the dietitian. I'm scheduled for my first surgery class next week.

I see Dr. Nagle at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago for my second visit on 8/10/05. All of my information should be sent to the insurance company right after.

I'm presently 248 lbs. I want to get to 150ish.

Employed Full-Time

Full-Time College Student (3.8 GPA Yipee!)

Wonderful husband and three year old.

Great parents who have helped out soooo much!

Good luck with your "red tape" stage. The surgery will be here before you know it!

Full-time college, full-time job, full-time 3-year old? When will you find time for surgery?! :-)

Hello!

Met with Dr. Nagle today (great guy) and we decided that I'm going to do the gastric bypass. I'm a little squeamish about having a foreign body in my system. :sick

Guess it's time to go back to obesityhelp.com. It was a blast!

Zaksmom, if you change your mind again, stop on by. You can still stop by even if you go for the RNY. We don't discriminate! Whatever you choose, good luck from another Chicagoan.

      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!
