Hey Nikki, have my pre-op appointment tomorrow and surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. Kinda nervous and excited all in one. As of this morning I have lost 20 pounds on the liquid diet alone. The boxes you gave have been so helpful. Thank you for your help!

I don't know if I'm allowed to go to baileys support group. Dr Varnell is one of their main Drs and he's my dr but my surgery is at city plex. But their support group seemed very lacking when I went last month

The support group at Bailey is awesome I highly recommend it. I have been going to them for over a year and a half.

Everyone is welcomed to it even if you don't have your surgery at Bailey.

It is a nice event, last year I was only about 2 months out, this year it will be exciting to send in a before and after picture.

My "last" 3 month visit is April 23rd. I guess things will be sent off to insurance after that. I'm hoping things move quickly after that...I have Aetna so not sure how they are with approvals. Still undecided about which surgery though, I think that has been the worst part of this whole process lol!

How long did aetna take? Did they require the 6 or 3 month? Did Dr's require you to lose weight?

Hi! Okc here! I have my consult tomorrow but have to go to Texas because UHC insurance requires a center of excellence. I didn't see a forum for Oklahoma

      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!
