I have been thinking about this for a while ( and trolling this site, quitely gaining information) and I started my process on august 3rd. I had my orientation on august 3rd, consult on august 10th, nutritionist on august 26th and psych evalulation on sept 3. My team thought that I needed a 6 month medically supervised diet but I told them I spoke with my insurance several times and they said no. So I had to really advocate for myself and make them submit to my insurance. Well she called me the same day and said that I was approved YAAAAAAAAAAY. Needless to say she said that she had never seen a insurance approve so fast. FYI my insurance is Humana. I am just really excited about this and nervous but grateful for the chance to make some MUCH NEEDED changes. This is something that I have being praying for and im so thankful to God.

So now im just waiting for them to call so I can schedule and get my date. Just wanted to share my story and wish everyone good luck no matter where you are in your journey. Blessing to 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!
