all done, waiting for approval!



Recommended Posts

As of today I have finished all my testing and my psych eval. I am sane enough to become thin, got a small haital hernia that will be fixed during surgery and I have an underactive thyroid thats barely functioning (ya think?!?!?!?)

The best news is after smoking a pack a day for 17 yrs. I have no lung damage other than I have asthma. I said good-bye to my menthol friends for good on January 24th cold turkey. I miss them dearly, but am better off without them.......

Paperwork is getting submitted on June 17th to Tricare for approval. Everyone sees nothing that Tricare would deny me banding, especially with my newly found underactive thyroid. And now the waiting begins.....

      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!
