First off, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I hope your marriage is a long and happy one. And as for the insurance, you should be good to go - if they have your name and you are on the policy, you're covered. If you want to be sure, call them up tomorrow and make sure, but I can't imagine you having trouble. I had a friend many years ago who got a new job with coverage as of the first day of employment, and his wife went into labor with their baby the NEXT DAY, nine weeks premature. He didn't even fill out the insurance paperwork until after the baby was born, but they were covered as of the day before, so over $200,000 of newborn intensive care was paid, no questions asked.

Some insurance companies have a 30 day waiting period for elective surgery. I'd call the HR Benefits Specialist with his company and ask.

      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.

      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!
