I was originally hoping for June but I'm pretty sure it'll be July now. I don't have my final weigh-in until June 15th and then I meet with the surgeon and they'll submit everything to my insurance. I am SO ready! I went to my introductory seminar back in February, I've met with the nurse for 3 monthly weigh-ins, had my psych eval, seen the NUT twice, seen the physical therapist twice, completed a 5-week behavioral skills class, and did all my pre-op testing last week (ultrasound, x-Ray, ekg, and bloodwork). I can't wait to get my date!

I just got my approval and I will be sleeved on July 14th. I am a teacher so I needed to wait for school to finish. Really excited now that I finally have approval. Good luck everyone!

I am hoping for July but it will depend on insurance approval and my surgeons schedule. I just found out I have severe sleep apnea. I also have high blood pressure. My starting BMI was 40 so I'm hoping that the BMI and co-morbidities will get me through the insurance hurdle. I see the psych doc next week and my surgeon on June 16th. I am so excited to start this journey. Wishing all the new sleevers well ????

I have done everything but visit with pulmonary doctor. Scheduled for 6/3. Already saw surgeon, blood work up, upper gi, chest xray, abdominal ultrasound, ekg, psychological eval, nurtitionist, sleep study. The coordinator said then everything is submitted to insurance for review. Does anyone know how long that takes?

I have BCBS and it took less than 2 weeks for approval :-) good luck!

      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!
