Approved 3 monthsearlier than I expected



Recommended Posts

Yikes. I got a call yesterday with a surgery date. I didn't even know the info had been sent in, and frankly I haven't completed all of my stuff. I never met with the psychologist (hoping I won't have to) the nutritionist (will get to it shortly after, I think) etc. It really freaked me out. I am scheduled for August 31st.

I am afraid of surgeries and have never had one. My dog died from the anesthesia, though. I'll start the two week diet on Monday, but am wondering which piece prepares the liver. Is it the cutting out of fats or carbs? I am thinking that Tomato sandwiches on white bread is the choice for the weekend. Maybe even buy some real mayo. Pathetic, huh??

WOW!! Congrats on the early approval! I would have loved to have had my file sent in without my knowledge and get a call. That way I wasnt playing the "waiting" game like I am now. To be honest, I dont even know if they sent in my file. They were supposed to do it last week. Best of luck on your journey to the "new" you!!!! Keep us updated on your progress!!:thumbup:

Thanks. I know that I am lucky. I just hadn't prepared my poor brain for it yet. It was one of those "somewhere in the future" things. Thus I have been up since midnight with a Migraine reading and thinking. It was good for me. It has settled my heart on the decision. I do have to prep the kids a bit earlier than i expected. they knew it was a possibility, but my middle one is worried about it.

duh...i am in my own selfish world tonight...good thoughts to you and your paperwork. hope it all works out without issue!

      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!
