finished my 6 months insurance requirement today



Recommended Posts

Now to see how long it will take to get a surgery date and really get this journey on its way! I hope I'm going to be able to do this in March. I will say the 6 months went by fairly quickly, all things considered. It's probably good to have a waiting period to become more informed about the entire procedure.

Yay!!! I will be done with my 3 month in april and even if it's going slow its going kinda fast. I agree that it is actually good to have waited. I found a great doctor and a wealth of info on here I would never had otherwise

that is great! I am so jealous - still 3 months of preop to go! Although you're right, the waiting period is a great opportunity to learn everything you can. Good luck, hope you're date comes quick.

Congratulations! I just had my 2nd (of 6) appointments Monday and have my 1st actual appointment with the surgeon Friday. On the one hand I'm so eager to get this going, on the other hand, I agree that the wait has given me time to prepare. Waiting for approval will hinge mainly on your insurance but if your surgeon's office has good insurance staff it will definitely help. Talk to them to make sure everything is in order. Depending on your surgeon's patient load, March might very well work for you! Keep us posted and again, congrats & 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!
