APPROVED!!! March 9th surgery date



Recommended Posts

Great News! I am approved for surgery and my date is March 9th!

I was so down yesterday because there were snags with the insurance company and they weren't calling us back to tell us what the problem was, well this morning they called and I am approved! I went from being resigned that my date was going ot be March 23rd and planning my "last meals," everything that I would eat and drink before surgery, to being thrust into my pre-op diet today. I had to go to the doctor on my lunch break to purchase the Meal Replacements I needed. I am so excited but my head is also spinning that this is FINALLY happening after waiting so long and watching my husband get skinny before my eyes and being so jealous.

The date is REAL now and now the nervousness kicks in, I hope I am one of the lucky ones that sails through with minimal pain and not too many side effects.

      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!
