Recommended Posts

ok this went really fast...I talked to the office yesterday to see if they submitted my information to BC/BS and it was around 2pm. She told me she was just gathering everything and was going to fax it over. First thing this morning BANG!!!! a call your approved and your scheduled for Feb 11th @ 1:30.Liquid diet starts on the 4th.:smile2:

So all of a sudden I'm scared and excited at the same time.

I know I will be fine but god I've been working on this through 2 different insurance companies.

So wish me luck..

I have two small children and I am a bit nervous about the general anesthesia because they need their mommy, but I think everything will be okay. We only have two weeks to go;yay!!!!!!..... I know I can't think about anything else..... Hopefully we can share our journey throughout this post. I wish you all the luck.

I also got approved today and will be finding out my date tomorrow! I know i was soooo excited to get the message but my nerves started to kick in as well! I have two sets of twins at home ( two 3yr olds and two 2 yr olds) so i am also kind of wondering how coming home after surgery will be! i think my biggest worry is not drinking when eating,i know i can do it but this whole process will be completely life changing and that is a very good thing!:unsure:

Congratulations!:biggrin: I also know the feeling, as I got word this week that I got approved and my surgery date is 2/25/10. I will attend my first support meeting on 2/8/10 and have to do a two week liquid diet starting 2/11/10. Anthem BC/BS is my provider and I'm in New Mexico. Like yourself I'm both excited and scared, but know that its all good:thumbup:

But remember, things happen for a reason and we are meant to do this and we will be successful too!! Best wishes and lots of luck!!!:thumbup:

      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!
