Im hoping my surgery will be in October. I meet with the surgeon next Wednesday and will get my date then. Im self paying so I wont have to wait for insrance to okay it. :) Im very excited to get my journey going!

So by being self pay you think you will be able to have the surgery that fast? I'm self pay and I go have my consult tomorrow and I hope I can have mine the first of November. Where are you having your surgery? With self pay did you have to do the sleep apnea, and meet with nutritionist and all the other stuff insurance people had to do? I know the blood work yes because I'm having mine done tomorrow.

I imagine you will have to do the same safety tests, the ones the surgeons themselves want. Good luck.

      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!
