Hello everyone. I am so excited and shocked that my decision was so fast! My last weigh in was Tuesday 8/2 and today I recieved a call from my surgeons office saying that my insurance company (healthfirst) has approved the surgery!

I am beyond ready and anxious!!! My surgery is on Monday 8/15

Started my liquid diet on 7/31 and at first it was hard but now I'm like hello premier I love you lol!

This app has helped me out so much I have been reading lots and I hope everyone that is in the waiting game with insurance gets a response quickly! Positive vibes to all!

Congratulations! That is such great news, and you are just one week away from your surgery date! Really excited for you! Which surgery are you having, and where?

I am still waiting on approval, I have RNY on August 18th at Duke.

Have you started packing your hospital bag?

      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.

      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!
