Yes they paid for all of mine, I went to Austin for my surgery. Great group of Dr.s there.

The lady who called me said that they may not pay for all of mine so I'm kinda worried now. *lol* I'm hoping they'll pay for all of it since I'm over the fat% and have other health risks. Keeping my fingers crossed.

They're sending me to Temple to get mine done.

:thumbup:Hi there,

I actually requested to go Austin and my PCP put it in for me as they were faster at getting me in and banded. The only thing I had to pay for was the psych exam, no biggie and well worth it!! I did not like the psych doc hear in Killeen, he depressed me!!! What are they wanting you to pay for?

I didn't know Austin would be faster or I might have gone that way. I'll see if I like the doctor and staff in Temple, if not, I may change. The psych doc, was it Chupik? I'm going to that office, but I don't know which person there I'll see.

Not sure what we may have to pay yet - I should find that out on the 21st. But I don't see why they wouldn't pay 100% of mine. Guess I'll wait and see.

So how are you doing with yours? Liking it? I'm really nervous about the whole idea of it, but my husband is reassuring it'll be ok. I just want it done since we only have 16 months left and we're out of the Army!

hey, i live in Killeen, and i was just wondering if anyone who also lives there might want a band buddy. someone to work out with, keep you on track, etc. i've been banded or 6 weeks now, so i'm still at the beginning, and i'm just starting to exercise. if anyone is interested, let me know.

      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!
