Oh good Tiffany4fit - we can keep each other company. It seems like it will be forever, however - everyone says it flies by fast. Plus, we can learn all the tips like chewing slowly, drinking without a straw, eating Protein first, and then we'll be set when the surgery gets here. I'm creating a monthly task plan to not get so anxious. It's difficult, but I am excited! Congrats everyone else on your surgery dates! I can't wait to post mine!

Yes we can ....I can't wait to post mine to, but as you stated I am taking this time to prepare myself so it won't be to hard for me

OK... I'm super excited. I sent in all my paperwork on Friday. My patient navigator was on vacation until today. She submitted my paperwork at 10:30 today and called me at 11:45 am and tells me I was approved by BCBS. Now I'm waiting to schedule everything. Did not realize it would go this smooth. I was terrified at first but now I feel like this is all God's plan. Yay me!!

That's wonderful!!!!! You deserve this fast turn around. YIPPY!!!!!!

      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!
