I am new to this chat. I am going to my first informational meeting on 7/26. How long did the whole process take you from first meeting, tests, surgeon meeting, to actual surgery? Congrats, I bet you are excited and hopeful.;-)

Where are you going to have surgery? Every program does things a little differently. Like, for me, it was 4 months between my orientation and my surgery. For others it can be up to 8 months.

Lorie... very cool. Do you know about the group of bandsters that meets informally in Albany (about once per month) at the food court of the mall. We're meeting again in July at Crossgates, if you're interested in joing us!

Forgive me if I've already told you about this! I am on three different band groups, and I forget what I say where! hehe

Hugs,

Welcome Lori and thanks. I went to the info. meeting in the beginning of Dec. 04.By the end of Dec I had all my test completed and the pre cert was sent in. The ins.co. denied it second week of Jan.05 because I didn't have 6 consecutive months of seeing a Dr. for weight loss. So I did that and am now waiting for approval. What Ins do you have? Who's your surgeon?.....Cynthia

      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!
