Bummed Out Day Yesterday



Recommended Posts

I'm still waiting, my tentative date is January 16th. I called the insurance on the 19th and was told I was approved. The surgeon hadn't received the authorization yet so I called again yesterday and was told she made an error and that my request for authorization was submitted for review on the 19th. I had a really bummed out day yesterday.

So now I have to wait a while longer to find out.

I was so excited that I was approved then she burst my bubble... I suppose it could be worse and be told I was denied... Keeping positive thoughts.

I just checked again and they haven't approved or denied so I'm going to continue the positive thoughts. They did however say they would decide today or tomorrow...

I'm with DL on this..the wait and uncertainty suck but fast forward and look back a year from now and all will be worth it. There will come many speed bumps along your journey and the best thing I learned during it all is to always remind myself...This too shall pass!

Good luck! Hope u get your answer soon :)

Thank you DL and ajustice, the worst thing can happen is I have to redo something. I'm feeling positive that it's all going to work out fine. My eye is definitely on the prize. I'm really looking forward to a year from now. Heck even a couple months from now. It's all still exciting, whatever the outcome it'll all be fine.

      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!
