March 15th :)



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! Guess what.... I GOT MY SURGERY DATE!!! I am SOOOoooOOO excited! It's March 15, 2010! :)

I can't believe how soon that is! I am extra shocked because I thought my 6 month diet was done at the end of March (I started at the end of September) because I was under the impression that I had to have 7 doctor visits total, one for the begining of the diet and one for the end of the diet. But when I went to the surgery apt, the nurse gave me 6 monthy sheets my doc is suppose to fill out, instead of 7. So, as you can imagine, I am super excited. I can't wait to start my life over again.

Also, I have some other good news. I LOST 8 LBS!!! This is exciting because I have not lost any weight during my diet. I am hungry all the time. So everything is going great right now. I hope to loose 20 by my surgery date. We'll see what happens.

So, does anyone else have a date for March 15?

I also need a little bit of encouragement. I am so worried about the insurance approval. I have everything they require, but I heard Cigna was a little tough when it came to getting approved.

Grats! Mine is scheduled for Feb. 22, so you are about a month after me, we are getting close!! Good job on the weight loss, also!

Congratulations! I'm not covered by Cigna, but if your surgeon has scheduled you, I would imagine they expect coverage :smile2:

      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!
