Approved - Yipee



Recommended Posts

Although with my insurance I wasn't terribly concerned, it is absolutely great to finally hear I have been approved and the surgery date of Jan 25 is a go! So excited and yet so darn anxious all the same. Now just have to get past my 10 day liquid pre op diet then I can tackle the next hurdle! For the first fime in...forever...I'm looking forward to my next weight loss journey. I have read so much and I really think this is the place for me to be. The right time, the right place. Here we go!

Thanks everyone! Even though the docs office felt it was a forgone conclusion, I was still a little nervous it wouldn't happen. Now I get the pleasure of 2 more days of "obese food" then on to my new food life, starting with 10 days of liquids~ Yay! Ok, not yay, but the approval part is still yay!

So awesome!! Congratulations!! Be sure to take your measurements and a bunch of "before" photos as soon as possible -- you are going to want them later!!

Best wishes for your success,

Catherine

Nice pics Catherine! I'm afraid to take the before pics. :( I don't want to see them. Measurements the same thing. I guess I'll do it anyway, and then hide them until I'm looking as good as you!

      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!
