Lol...I'm such a kidder!

I'm in the process of getting approved...had a setback because my psych eval said that I need to wait until my husband comes back from Iraq to have the surgery...so it'll be like 6 more months until I can do it..

Just thought I'd introduce myself though. I'm a mother of 2, full time college student at Kansas State University, and an Army wife (which means I'm on tricare).

So HELLO EVERYONE!:grouphug:

Welcome to the message boards! You sound like one busy person and I bet those 6 months will fly by. Tricare is awesome! I have nothing but good things to say about them through this whole process.

Good luck to you!

Welcome to the boards fellow Army Wife! I as well have Tricare and still have to do a sleep study before it gets submitted for approval. If you need any help please don't hesitate to ask. BTW, hubby is from KS. My step-son graduated from KU last year and my youngest step-son graduates from Washburn in Topeka. We are headed out in December. We can't wait! Best of luck!

      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!
