I was approved! Yeah!! I just got off the phone with my insurance company and they said I was approved. Next, is trying to get a hold of my insurance coordinator to set up a date. lol I know... good luck with that one. But I think eventually she will get back to me. I hope.

In the meantime, I am both nervous and very happy! A load has been lifted off my chest. And this feels more real now. Thanks all who have listened to me...er...let's say lament, instead of the B word. You have been great and I do appreciate the support. I think this part was the hardest. (I will probably revise my thinking when going through the two weeks of liquid diet before surgery.)

Congrats! It was the best decision I've ever made for myself. I'm almost 5 months out & down 71 lbs. Good luck to you, the first two weeks I had food mourning where I was thinking "what have I done" but that goes away quickly

      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!
