Oh man that sucks. If anything pre write a letter with your health issues and emotions due to your weight and ask your ob to write a letter for insurance company recommending the surgery is necessary

Sorry to hear that. Ask your ob/gyn or your primary doctor for weights within the last 2years. If you are getting your shots every 3 months they may have something on file.

Headmistress' date=' I feel you! Same issue here! They didnt deny me yet but said I have 45 days to submit 2 yr weight history and will not except my prenatal weight which was 1 of the 2 yrs... Never saw my PCP during that time so I'm hoping the few minute clinics I went to during that time had some weight history for my surgeon to submit. Don't give up hope....[/quote']

Ok so I called around to hospital emergency rooms where I know I was seen at in 2010 2011 and one alreasy sent her my weight for 2010!!!! There were really fast but I explained to them what was going on and that I didn't have 7-10 days to wait for a letter so they said tell the surgeons office to fax a letter head over requesting the info and they will send it upon the hour and {{{{BOOM}}}} they did!!!! So now im just waiting on 2011 and I will be home free!!! So freaking excited now and I feel so much better thanking god thanking god thanking god.... hopefully I get a December surgery!!!!

      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!
