so today i met with my Bariatric doctor and we went over my food journal..yea not the best but its a work in progress..learn from your mistakes right? so anyway..let me back up and explain somethings..i had started this journey in october with the seminar then November with the consult..then i lost my car and wasnt able to get to appt's so skip to April, got the bloodwork they needed taken and had another appt in May and now the one today..along with another consult with the Psychiatrist (since it had been since November since i saw her)..so my insurance requires a 6 mon study .(I have Anthem blue cross/blue shield of GA) .i was hoping to bypass that since i tech hadnt been there every month for 6 but a combined amount..well when i called the surgeon's office and spoke to the lady that handles the insurance..it has to be consecutive :( so now my 6 month journey will end in October..then we submit to insurance and hopefully get approved and be on my way to the losers bench..

so this is just a kink in my journey..i refuse to give up..

Good luck and hang in there. I hit the three-month mark as reqd by my insurance only to have a required cardiac clearance add two months to my timeline! I was hoping for late July now it looks like my WLS will be in September.

      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!
