Accepted, but not approved.....yet :thumbup:

I got the letter today from the hospital's New U program and in big letters it says:

WELCOME TO NEW U

I was so excited I was crying!!

I was soooo worried that something in my med history would throw a red flag, but nope. I have to call tomorrow to set up all my pre-op appts. They are letting me work backwards sort of, since they only do seminars once a month and the one for this month is Saturday but hubby & I will be in Las Vegas. LV was planned months ago or seriously I'd cancel it to get things moving faster.

So, I have to see the psych, nutritionist, and physical trainer and go to a 3 hour Lap Band education class. And I have to do the seminar before I can meet with the surgeon. And they won't submit to my ins before I meet with the surgeon. The next seminar isn't until April 17th. So, I'm hoping for a date mid May.

I'm on my way!!!

Thank you everyone for being so helpful and supportive :scared2:

Thank you!

I am just waiting for the office to open so I can call to make my appointments.

I had to read the letter again this morning just to make sure it wasn't all a dream LOL.

      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!
