So...got word back...6 months of supervised weight loss. Im not as disappointed as i thought id be. Perhaps God's way of saying slow down. Lets take this one step at a time.

I had to do the 6month program too. Well I was doing 6 months, then Cigna changed there requirements to 3, but I was already in my 5th month. So, I only got done 1 month earlier.

I think having to do the supervised, gives you time to change habits, learn as much as possible, go to support groups, and generally get in the mindset you need to start your new life.

Good luck, you'll do great I'm sure. :)

Same thing with my insurance. I was hoping for sooner but oh well, it will be here before we know it.

      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!
