Recommended Posts

Today I have my final psych appointment I had to do 2. First was for the test, this one is to go over the test. Then I go to meet the surgeon. Getting excited but how much more do I have to look forward to once I meet the surgeon?? I know I have to do a ekg and other test before we send in for approval to blueshield. But for those already thru this stage how long did it take? Thanks

I am so there with you! I have only my psyche test to do and then I too have completed all the checkoffs required. So excited to get a surgery date soon. Good luck to you!

My psy eval is on Monday morning. Only a 1 hour session as required by Blue Cross of Nebraska.

Back to the Center on 10-14 to finish up ck. list and send to insurance company.

Good luck to you! I hit a bump. The psychologist said I failed the questionnaire. I was to scared to answer the questions about stress or depression and they said that I was not in touch with my emotions and wouldn't be ready to make a life style change. Luckily the lady said after talking with me face to face she didn't believe it was true so she is having me retake the test. Only bummer is I have to wait for approval frm ins. And and take another 2 hr test. But o well just trying to stay encouraged.

A Test!!! Good Lord - Have hated tests since High School - Can we do extra curricular activities to bring up our grade - LOL!! Use to do that in High School because I didn't test well. I have my Psych Eval on Wednesday 9/28 - My husband says for what - I can tell them your crazy... I saw somone posted about having BCBS (Nebraska) I am BCBS Delaware - All joking aside - I think mine is a 1 hour session as well - Crazy how alot of things are done differently from state to state and doctor to doctor as well as insurance to insurance.. Take Care everyone!!

      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!
