So l had my first appt with the wls clinic this past Monday (24), nut the next day, and yesterday the psych eval. The drs office just called me and said my insurance has already approved me. It only took one day! I am SOOOO in shock. So depending on when my husband can get off work, I'm having my surgery on April 15 or 17!!!! It's a good thing I've been on here for hours every night for the past month researching.

@Pepper123-I have humana for Kentucky state employees. It is amazing. I have a little bit if a deductible, but my total out-of-pocket for the year is $2500 so that is the most I'll have to pay. I'm so excited but just a little overwhelmed that it is happening so fast. Thanks everybody for all the encouragement. I love this forum :)

@@kitten22996 - I have Humana for state employees, too. Did they mention a 6 month prep period, or had you already done that?

No 6 month waiting period. I had my first appt with the Dr on march 24 and had my surgery in April 15. It was crazy how fast it went. They actually wanted me to do the surgery a wk before but I couldn't get off work that quick.

I hope you realize how incredibly fast that is, compared to pretty much everyone else I've heard of.

Congratulations (with a little bit of envy)!

      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!
