I'm just ready to get a date. Have my visit with my primary dr Wednesday and hopefully he will sign my approval letter so I can then schedule an appt with my surgeon and be able to schedule my surgery. I know I have to get some blood work done and a urine sample so I'm thinking I'll need another visit with my primary care dr before I receive that signature???? hoping I'll be able to have my surgery scheduled for next mt, too ready!!!

whoa bud!!!

in my experience it didn't go so quickly

you need that letter signed by doctor

then go through all the jumps, hurdles of insurance

after all is completed

then i think you will have surgeons office send to insurance for approval

now the above was what i had to do

maybe i misunderstood and you have already gotten approval??

doesn't sound that way

don't mean to rain on your parade

i think you have to slow down

if you meet the requirements, have the co-morbidities (msp)

you hopefully will "pass"

looked in dictionary for correct spelling of co-mor.....

couldn't find

my spell check doesn't give me the correct way to spell

any people that are "gooder" than me

take a bow

only being sarcastic, really

still love all of you, except....................

you know who you are :lol:

(only kidding!!!!)

hope you get your reply sooner than later

and surgery will be scheduled

good luck bud

My insurance already approved my surgery I been did everything I needed to get approval. Now all I need is my doctor to sign off. Not sure what he may request before doing so that's all.

      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!
