The director of my WLS office just called me to ask would I like to have my surgery done before or after Christmas . I couldn't believe it !!I had my last visit with my NUT for my supervised diet history on December 2nd . That was less then a week ago I thought the insurance clearance would take longer . I have Empire Plan BCBS of NY . I am so happy that I started to cry . It's been a long 6 months trying to get all the tests and clearances done . I can't wait to be in the other side of the losers bench !

Congrats! I am waiting patiently for my approval. I had my last appointment last Thursday (same week as you) and the insurance specialist assured me she was submitting my documents last Friday. Keeping my fingers crossed for a quick approval.

I totally agree with you...this has been a long six month journey and I am excited to soon be sitting on the losers bench.

      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!
