The news I was waiting for arrived at 9am yesterday morning and it was to say the least shocking. I was approved!!! My inforamtion was faxed in on Monday morning and I had an approved first thing Tuesday...talk about excitment!!! I couldnt contain myself yesterday, I couldn't focus and wanted to tell the world; there was only one problem only about 4 people out of the whole entire world knew that I had been trying to get approved. I kept from telling most of my family b/c they are worriers and I didn't want that to interfier with what all I had to do in order to get approved. I just didn't think I needed to tell anyone and everyone until it was set in stone. Needless to say I am breaking the news very gently and a few people at a time and for the most part it's been okay. Today I got the phone call with all of my appointments lined up as well as a surgery date of 6/14 (i may have to move this to 7/8 as this may interfier with work related issues which is okay with me....I'm just so excited that I was approved. My sister in law has been a tremendous amount of help, she was banded 5/13 and I'm on question number nine hundren fourty six thousand twelve :thumbup: So just wanted to update that the wait is over (no pun intended) and I will being my journey in the very near furture!!!:laugh:

Congrats BrandiG!!! I remember that nervousness of waiting to see if my insurance would say yes. When they did, I was ecstatic! I got banded May 13. I think it was one of the hardest, but best decisions I ever made! I am so happy for you! Good luck! :laugh:

      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!
