I was medically cleared today and had my psych eval as well. I meet with the surgeon tomorrow and then my paperwork will be submitted to Tricare!! Praying for a swift approval!!! The rest of this has gone so fast that my head is spinning. LOL

I think my initial inquiry appointment was April 29. I finished all appointments today and am having surgery on May 24. I totally agree.......FAST. I am excited and scared at the same time. Good luck to you.

i am also new to this. I attend the lap band seminar next week then i can make an appointment with the surgeon. I also have tricare, do you know if they ask that you have 6 months of consistant weighing in before approval? I hope not!! i really want to get this whole process going!! Best of luck!! :)

I think Tricare North requires it, but Triwest did not.

Thank you everyone. I got my surgery date today!!! AHHHHH!!!!! I'll be having surgery on 5/27...I can't believe it!

      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!
