Howdy,

Have insurance with Cigna and completed my 6 month supervised diet. The surgeons office submitted my paperwork and I was declined.

Reason: No psychiatric eval. or nutrionist visit.

So, my girlfriend had her cosmetology test yesterday in Little Rock and I set my appts. up then so we could get it all done at once.

Good news....contrary to what my ex-wifes have said, I am not crazy ;)

She did tell me after talking with me for awhile that she thought I was very committed to getting this done. I agree :devil_smile:

After that I met the nutritionist. And you would never believe where.....

Famous Dave's restaurant. Lol. A friend of mine called while I was meeting her, and he said "Isn't that like attending an AA meeting at a liquor store?" She just laughed.

Anyway, those two things will be submitted and hopefully I will hear back in a week or so.

Just wanted to tell someone, because I am happy!

Michael

Oh yeah, and the nutritionist told me I look remarkably like Bill Engvall the comedian. I asked her if she smoked her Breakfast ;)

Hang in there an it will finally happen. It took me 18 months to finally get everything in place and get my band. I am so happy. I have lost a total of 49.8 pounds and feel great.

You will get there.

      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.

        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!
