Congrats on your approval! That's exciting!:D

When I found out I read the letter over and over. I thought for sure I'd see the word "denied" and couldn't believe I read "approved". :)

I did a really silly Vlog wearing a party hat and waving my letter!

I'm having my surgery 5/9 so we can support one another! Congratulations!

I haven't gotten a letter yet, but I got a call from both my insurance specialist at the doc's office and the case manager for my husband's company (that's who my insurance is through). I was at work so I tried to be cool about it but I just kept saying, "Oh my gosh, oh my gosh." Then I sent a mass email to everyone who knew that I was trying to get the surgery.

My surgery is May 2, so it seems like there are quite a few of us having surgery with a two week period of each other. We'll have to start a thread to keep up with each other!

      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'. ???

      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.

      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!
