I am approved! Surgery on September 15th



Recommended Posts

I just found out that insurance won't pay for the B12 nasal spray. My Dr is trying to get the B12 injections approved now. :(

The b-12 injections aren't really expensive here in tn you can probably get a whole year for around 20.00 and that includes syringes....i hope they can get it approved for you....and yay good luck to sept approvers!!!

I am using no sugar added Carnation instant Breakfast with fat free milk (10 ounces) and adding extra scoop of chocolate Protein powder from GNC that has 20 grams of protein a scoop...makes it about 35 grams a shake...tastes great

Hmm i bought some carnation but realized it wasn't the NO SUGAR ADDED so haven't been back to the store. I bought alot of different Protein powders but just don't sit right on my stomach. Hopefully every day will get easier

      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!
