Welcome and congrats. It took me the full month to hear back from insurance and it was torture. I am sure you will be fine.

KimA-GA, I’m getting the sleeve. As of today, no word from the insurance!! I’m trying to keep myself distracted but nervous as anything!

Have you tried calling your insurance ?

Possible surgery date!!!!! Just got a call from my doctors coordinator. There was a small hiccup in the approval process. Apparently I now don’t qualify by BMI… Missing it by like 6 pounds, but I do have sleep Apnea. The insurance people did not see my sleep apnea diagnosis and the coordinator forgot to put the medical clearance info in, SOOOO, she has resubmitted and we should hear back in the next 5 days. She has tentatively given me a date of November 18th!

      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!
