Hi everyone! ive been reading other posts and im getting more and more excited to get banded and have as much success as you guys! Only thing driving me CRAZY is this damn 6month "i can change program"" for my insurance. i wish i looked into this before i decided surgery because i would have been banded by now! its just very frustrating. but on the up side im learning how to eat slower and smaller portions AND eating Breakfast wich i never did before.. has anyone heard or gone through this program before? its only been about 2 months and its draaaaaaaaging

My insurance had the same requirement but I was able to bypass it. Luckily, I've had the same PCP for 20 years and he had already seen my numerous attempts.

I know what you mean! I thought my 6 mos would never be over. I just finished last month and am now waiting for ins. approval. To be honest...once I got going with my preop stuff (clearances, gathering paperwork, started working out)....the time flew by. Before I knew it....I was at my 6 mo appointment and freaked out that I was now ready for surgery. Hang in there! It will be worth it.

IM if you need motivation :rolleyes:

      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!
