@@cnewbodyreno They have just submitted to insurance so now I wait. I decided to have the Gastric Bypass instead of the sleeve as I have developed diabetes and I think it will help a little more. Where are you in the process now?

Awesome, I just scheduled surgery date today and they will send my paperwork to my insurance. I stuck with the sleeve, hopefully they will approve me

I am in Lorton. I just have to do a sleep study on 1/17/17 and an endoscopy on 1/26/17. I'm hoping to get a mid-February surgery date.

I am just outside of DC. My sleeve is January 11th. I'd be happy to share when I'm back home. I also need to find a local doctor for my post-op care, so I may need referrals from you 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!
