I'm in the waiting game with the insurance company (cigna) but Dr. Macik's asst. Tiffany says don't worry. It's been 3 weeks but she says it is usually 6 before she gets the answer. So here I sit no date waiting,hoping to get the call of approval any day plus my date for this to happen. As I wait I have been trying different Protein Drinks, between my visits to my trainer at the gym.

He swears I'm tougher then most his clients but isn't there the next day to see just host stiff I really am. Made the lifestyle change just waiting on my date to get my kick start. 6 weeks of 1200 calories and 3 days a week with trainer and have only lost 10 pounds. Everyday I hope to get my call from Tiffany! though the process has been interesting, and I've learned a lot from reading everyone's posts.

By the way I'm in Acworth GA. And 5'7 and 308lbs

I am seeing Dr Dennis Smith in Marietta. I will be going to Kennestone Hospital.. I also have United Healthcare. I really do like their program. They also have Support groups to attend.

I met Tiffany when I went to interview Dr Macik as a potential surgeon. I decided to go with a different surgeon but Tiffany was very pleasant.

      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!
