~Approved~Approved~Approved



Recommended Posts

Finally, I get to post some good news. :dance: The battle is over and I won!! :clap2: I have rec'vd verbal confirmation of my approval!!! I am shaking, crying, and overwhelmed!!:faint:It feels like the dream I had the other night.:notagree This is REALLY going to happen for me. I just got the word 20 min ago and had to make some calls, then couldn't wait to get on here to tell all of you!! :love:

Thank you again for all the support!! I am convinced the knowledge I learned here played a big role in getting approval. I felt armed and ready for anything they threw my way. :( I was even ready to type up a letter of appeal.

Praise the Lord for He is good and always knows what's best for us!! I will never forget the words of Photonut ~ God's timing is perfect!! :amen: Thank U again for that....it has been a comfort through all of this.

O.K. I'll shut up now!! Thanks for listening and sharing in my joy!! :D

Could you pinch me to make sure this is real? :( I don't have many details at this point. Just know that I'm approved and they are going to fax the approval letter to my surgeon. My new crusade will be to push for a May date. I have my pre-op class next Fri. I still need to get the stress test for my heart since I had an arrhythmia show up. At this point, any date makes me happy!! :biggrin1:

Thanks for all the bananas.....love it!! I can't get this smile off my face. :dance:

Just a word .... I got verbal approval and a fax was to be sent to the doctor immediately. It was another 3 weeks and my constant calling to the doctor's office for an update. It won't change that its approved, it might just mean you have to wait just a little longer. Just don't want you to think it will happen immediately. It might, but it didn't in my case. Just knowing that it was approved was great, but it was made real yesterday when I scheduled the surgery date.

Thank U all!! It's nice to know someone shares and understands the enthusiasm. My mom is reserved b/c she is beginning to realize this is real. We are both putting it in the Lord's hands.

I called the supervisor of PreD dept and she faxed my letter of approval as we were talking. They usually mail, but she made an exception. YEAH!! They want me to keep in touch and want to hear about my progress. Wow....I think they really care. It's been a long road, but the trip is worth every minute. Now on to the destination!!

I told the surgery coordinator, I am available ANY day in May. My husband has put his boss on alert and I'm ready to go at any time after I get my tests done.

I got my date today....I will be banded on May 26th at noon. :clap2: I wanted it sooner, but I can't get in for the pre-op testing until May 18th b/c they are booked solid. After some thought, this is just perfect b/c it falls on the Memorial Day holiday and my husband will be home with me for 3 fulls days b4 returning to work.

I'm off to join the May Crew thread!!!

This is real....it's really going to happen!!!

      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!
