The moment you find out you are approved....

I just found out I got approved by my insurance. Curiosity kiilled the cat. I had to call my insurance about a different issue. I figured while I had them on the phone, I would just inquire about my approval process. Had they recvd the documents? Where is it in the approval process? Well the rep came back on, verified that they had docs and then verified that a letter was mailed out to my surgeon and to myself providing authorization/approval for WLS. I think I almost passed out.

Initial reaction: Tears of joy

2nd reaction: WTF is getting ready to happen?!?!?

My surgery date is scheduled for November 9th! If I didn't have a few work related projects going on in October, I swear I would move that date up to, but November 9th is the divine date that I am going to stick with. Any other November 9th surgery dates out there?

      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!
