Maybe just call and ask them. I'm not sure what their guidelines are about that. I'm planning on going too.

Lucky once approved by insurance what did you have to do any more blood or other tests?

Once I was approved, they set me up for my final appt with the surgeon to set up the date, which was less than two weeks after that last appt. Once at the hospital, they took blood for some tests.

Ok thanks so much. Things are looking good. I called today and next week will be sent for team approval. Keeping my fingers crossed!

How's everyone doing? I'm feeling frustrated because I'm still on a stall. Looking forward to the support group tomorrow morning. Maybe it'll readjust my head a bit. Hope you all have a great weekend. Looks like gorgeous weather! I'm going to take advantage of it and spend some time outside.

Hang in there Lucky look at it this way if you lost at least 20 lbs that's 5 lbs a week when have we ever lost that much in a week. Lol What is the topic of group tomorrow do you know? I'll be there I'll be the one with my grand baby and a stroller. Praying she's good so I can stay.

True, I've never lost 5lbs a week lol. This whole thing is such a mental rollercoaster. Mental health and stress eating is the topic. Should be a good one. I'm not sure what I'll be wearing lol but I'll look for you. :-)

      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!
