Thumbs up Update By Walkfaith!!!

I did my Upper GI testing today. I was told that I had Acid Reflux and a small hernia.
I also did my preadmitting today- Bloodwork, EKG, etc. Had to attend a Nutrition Class by Surgeon office. So you see had a full day today. I also started my liquid diet today.
Can't wait until the Oct. 23-surgery day.
I am tried, long day!!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Looks like your pre-tests are going fine.
Oct 23 is only 2 weeks away, hope you get along well with your liquid diet.

Remember that I am WALKBYFAITH, I am trusting God for everything,God is in Control of my life and believing in him has had the different.
I do not know if a hernia repair is needed, but my surgeon will probably talk to me about hernia repair after he receive my Upper GI results.

Thumbs up Walkbyfaith update- Surgery!!!

I had my surgery October 23, and everything went well, but on Nov. 16, I had to go back the hospital because my pouch closed on me and I could not keep any food or liquid down, so did a procedure that opened my pouch back up. I am still adjusting to food, but most of the time, I drink whey protein, if I don't feel like eating. I have lost alot of weight.
Before I had the surgery, I weigh 407, now I weigh 327 as of yesterday. I exercise 3 times a week, and taking vitamins, etc. I look and is starting to feel good. Best decision I have made.
