Just found out I got Approved



Recommended Posts

I have been lurking on this message board for sometime now. I started my journey in December and had to do 6 months weight and exercise program with my Primary Care Physican. My last appt with my PCP was 6/21.

Yesterday I got a letter from my insurance saying I was approved. The Gastro Doc's office says that she is working on a couple of files to schedule surgery dates before me, but will be calling me in a couple of days. But probably sometime in August for the surgery.

I guess instead of lurking, I can actually become a part of this group.

      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'. ???

      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!
