I know this seems to be a much-repeated post on other forums, but I can't help but add one myself...

I got my final insurance pre-certification approval today!!! I'm so excited to finally get it so I can start finalizing the logistics for my surgery. I will get an official date once the coordinator reviews my chest x-ray and EKG, but it appears that July 8th will be the magic date! It can't get here soon enough!

So sorry for yet another "approved" post, but I couldn't contain myself!

Congrats! It is so exciting to find out and it feels so nice to tell people who can 100% understand your excitement. When my insurance company called me I had to have them repeat the word "approved." They say it so willy nilly and don't understand how much of a fantastic life changing even for us. :)

Haha exactly! My insurance is being weird: they've pre-certified me for surgery but are balking at paying their portion of the surgical consultation. I had the surgery coordinator give me a copy of the pre-certification approval so that [a] I could see it in writing for myself :D and have it for future reference in case they balk at paying something else. Hopefully I won't have to use it!

Thanks! Now it feels like I have so much to get done in such a short amount of time! Two days ago, it felt like I had all the time in the world.

      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!
