The insurance company submitted my paperwork and two weeks later I am approved! I am so excited but finally the nerves set in. I have been halfway through this process before only to quit for one reason or another. I finally had enough and pushed through the months of testing and craziness. I have never even been close to my ideal weight for my height. I can't even imagine it. I am so nervous for surgery. The biggest surgery I've ever had was getting my tonsils removed. I think what's worse is knowing that my family members are very nervous about it. I think for the first time in my life I am doing something that I want without letting anyone talk me out of it. I know it will take forever for December 18th to get here!

Holliwood1980, were all there at some point in time. I have this week left and the closer it gets the more nervous I get, but I'm still excited also. :-)

Hang in there what your feeling is normal.

      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!
