:whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:

I am sitting in my house sorting laundry and the phone rings its a recording. It says to call my health insurance for information within the next 7 days, and gives me an access code. Im still like WTH??

So i call and wham, the lady says "Your approval code for your MT Sinai Hosp stay is blah blah blah your date is JANUARY 30 2008 have a nice weekend!"

I had no idea he submitted the paper work. Last he said to me was get this blood work(hands me a paper) done and says see you in a couple of weeks.

Holy sh_t im cant stop crying and laughing. Im on my way to BANDLAND!:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Ok now that i have calmed my nerves some, does anyone know if we can reschedule once we have a date? I was just thinking thats not enough time for me to get everything i need and my son straighten out.

Just asking, I will keep the date if I have to.

      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!
