Thanks everyone! I could barely sleep last night from dreaming of what I use to be and also a bit scared of excessive skin. This is truly happening for me. Now I don't know what to tell my boss and for how much time I will need off

Well now that I'm approved there is more waiting. I have to wait till April 1st for my pre-op appointment, I was told I have to pay the remainder of my family deductible 2790 before I can have the surgury. I wasn't trying to go broke. The doctor wants 1788 up front then she said the hospital bills up front along with the anesthesiologist... I'm praying for a simple way out to where I don't have to go broke

You don't have a individual deductible?

      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!
