The insurance coordinator called and left a message that my insurance has approved me for surgery, first submittal, no issues. So, next steps are getting the last of the surgeon's pre op requirements done and choosing a date, as well as ensuring I can cover my copay.

I'm feeling very nervous all at once.

Thanks, all - I'm excited but I'm also hitting that wall of second thoughts. You know the ones - should I just give it one more try without surgery? What if it doesn't work? I just need to get my head back in it and remind myself constantly that I've DONE the "one more try" thing, and it *will* work at some level, even if I don't lose all that I want to.

I had second thoughts as well, i pictured myself sprinting out of the hospital, but honestly I'm about 3 months out and down 65 lbs (95 lbs down from preop) and honestly it's the best decision I ever made. You will do great!!

      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!
