Thats great! You are so lucky! I am still in the waiting period. My stupid insurance makes everyone employee endure a 3 year waiting period before you become eligible for the surgery. My eligibility date is May 31st, 2014. I am just starting the pre-op stuff now!

What state are you in?

That's awesome! I'm still going through all the steps before I can get a surgery date. Right now I'm in a 4 week Health & Wellness program. When we are done with this then we can schedule our surgery.

Good luck at your doctor's appointment! :)

I had to do a six month pre op diet for my insurance, and my last visit for that is on Thursday! After that I need to talk to the surgeon, submit to insurance, and then schedule a date. It's comin' up!

      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!
