Thanks!!! , I have not talked with my surgeon yet, just the insurance but when my pre- surgical coordinator submitted the paper work they said it would be on the 20th of this month which I may Have to change to the 27th for work reasons ( insurance gives me 90 day window to reschedule is need be) but it's soon and that's all that matters!

What kind of things did the insurance require of you?

I had gotten approved with the 6mo nut appointments(which I had done prior to wanting wls), letter from my pcp, pulmonary consultation, 2 sonograms and an endoscopy..I hadn't had my psych eval or clearance from my cardiologist so im not sure what they were looking for but im not going to question it

      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!
