I am so glad that I am not the only impatient one haha I kept checking for my approval online and as soon as it turned to approved, I immediately emailed the coordinating nurse and she got right on it.

Happy for you and good luck with your journey!

I did the same thing, but it was late in the afternoon, so nothing happened yesterday. Rest assured that I will be on it first thing Monday morning!

Have you called your insurance company yourself? They were very nice and seemed even excited for me:)

Yeah I did check with Medicare, after bouncing me from Chicago to Nashville to Baltimore I got a minor peon who asked why I hadn't had it already cause they did promise to pay the sneaky Sons of Seabiscuit the Horse at program #1, why hadn't it been done? Well they didn't wanna, could be fancier about it but that's what it boils down to.
But my best revenge will be kicking their lying,words right back in their teeth, rising triumphant from the muck and mire they tried to push me down into,then claim the victory they deniedme and go forward into,a beautiful future. 🌏just you watch ME now!

I kept my team on their toes.. after every clearance I would call and ask if the results were in my chart and in their system. I made them sign a sheet with all my weigh ins Incase somehow it “disappeared” (because that’s how my luck works). After I had everything I needed I kept calling them asking if it was submitted and after it got submitted I will call every two days asking if it got approved lmaooo.. I know they’re happy as all hell to be done with me. But you just can’t sit back and leave things to chance. one week later I got the call and 3 days after that I was sitting with my surgeon scheduling my bypass.

      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.

        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!
