I hope you get an answer on Friday. I found out I was approved for surgery before the bariatric coordinator did. Keep us posted.

I think I will call Aetna again tomorrow. I feel like a little kid in the back seat on a family trip. Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

I was more nervous that my insurance was going to deny me. Everything was surreal. I felt like a little kid opening gifts during Christmas, once I found out I was approved. It's a life changing surgery and I waited 10 yrs to have it.

I know the feeling. I am afraid they won't approve the surgery and I will really be depressed. But I try not to dwell on anything negative.

Today is day 6 and I am feeling really good. My doctor was Dr. Robert Davis and I believe he did a fantastic job. I have more pain from my throat and ear from the tube they put down your throat than from the surgery.

Also the hospital staff at Memorial Herman were fantastic. They treated my wife and I really well.

      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!
