How many times did u see the doctor within that time frame?.. my BMI is right at 40.68 or something like that so if I loose 10 pounds I wont b able to have the surgery so waiting 6 months just to have the surgery would really suck!! Im ready for the change.

Yes..it was something...I had seen the doctor in November 2013...but my health insurance didn't cover bariatric surgery... I had to wait to switch my HMO....I did in July...but also start any weight loss program plus seen my doctor once a month...and in July I seen the psychologist... Nutritist... Same day...and they submitted my packet to insurance on Aug 18...approval on Aug 21.. I think it was quick because I started the other program too...and its Medicaid..

Exactly! Talking to my husband is like talking to a wall. He knows hoe I feel but doesnt understand the toll it takes on ur emotions ya know. Like u said u also have the same insurance so this is very helpful. I should hear from the bariatric doctors office this week about the requirements from UH for me. Keep ur fringers crossed for me that they wont make me wait 6 months!! Will keep u ladys updated and u do the same pls :)

      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.

        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!
