Those of you that were (and are) being patient enough to battle insurance companies deserve an award. Good job, Bean! It will all pay off in the end. You'll be banded here in the states, right at home, with aftercare readily available. Damn proud of you!

Hot Damm girl. I'm thrilled for you. I too wrangled with my insurance company (BC/BS of New Jersey) for about 8 months. I felt like jumping up on my desk & yelling when I finally recieved the letter telling me that yep, the surgery was medically necessary. I know I was hyperventilating!

This is WONDERFUL NEWS!

Hey Guys -

I feel like a rock star... You are all so sweet.

Just an update: My surgeon's office called me yesterday because they already had a letter from Blue Cross stating I was approved... I have my pre-op consultation scheduled for the 24th. (I would have gone sooner - but I am going to be in my New York office next week.)

It is looking good for surgery in February!! I am so excited!!

Thanks, again.

Irene

      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!
