It is not easy to get a first time approval. I was denied twice and then approved on third try.

You must be so relieved! I can't wait until I hear that news too...I have to go to a cardiologist next week and then they said they would approve me..I had to postpone it because of my insurance but I just got it back today! I am on my WAY! Makes me a little worried tho because what if they say they need something else all of a sudden after that, u know? I guess I will find out.

Violet,, call your insurance company and ASK for a COPY of what is required by them... Then just go down it like a check sheet. Who is your insurance with?

I have medicare. I will call them tomorrow and see what they say...but my surgeons office did tell me that they said after I'm seen by the cardiologist they will approve me..you'd think they would tell me everything that would need to be done if there is more...who knows!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
