Hello All...

I saw my doc about 2 weeks ago. I will be seeing psych in about 2 weeks. After that I go back to my doc on 9/29/11. Hopefully meet with surgeon on same day. It is my wish that I am sleeved by my bday which is 11/4. I think that would be a great way to begin my personal new year.....So pls send positive thoughts and prayers my way so that I can get my sleeve!!!!! My doc did say that it should only take about 2 weeks for my ins to approve. So I am very hopeful!!

Welcome to the wait game, it is worth every second of hoop jumping and waiting. The time will pass faster than you think and then you are sleeved and on the losers bench. Best wishes and keep us posted on your journey!!!!

I eat, sleep, breath, and think about VSG all of the time! I'm in the 5th month of 6 months of hoop jumping for insurance. My last appt is August 25th. After insurance approves, I have 4 weeks of pre-op meetings & tests. So I've given up on a birthday (10/8) sleeve but hoping & praying for a birthmonth (October) sleeve. Glad to know I'm not alone in this crazy insurance waiting game! My biggest fear is that insurance will deny, then what?

Then APPEAL< APPEAL<APPEAL and don't give up till you get your sleeve. My 6th appointment is Sept 9th and I hate waiting even though I am trying my best to practice sipping and eating slow. Still I hate that the insurance makes you do the hoops. They are gonna pay, why not just PAY all ready. Waiting sucks. Please keep me posted on your progress perhaps we can be sleeve buddies. Good Luck.

I will keep appealing till I get my sleeve. We must stay determined, we want it, we deserve it and the insurance needs to pay for it. We have done the hoops and they need to show the doctors the money. LOL. Keep me posted, maybe we will be sleeve buddies. :D

I will definitely be keeping you in my thoughts. You sound like you have this under control. I will just cross fingers insurance plays along. Welcome to the forum! Just try to stay positive. Time does fly a little faster than you think. Good luck on your journey!

      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!
