My paperwork was submitted to the insurance company on a Thursday and approved the following Tuesday.

Hope mine is that fast!

Welcome! What does your pre-op diet consist of?

We should have a group...Plication Pioneers? I know that plication is really starting to catch on and it would be nice if those considering it would be able to find out information in an easy way. I know that I was desperately looking on here for any info on it.

I think this is a terrific idea! Also in regards to your question about how soon after approval I got the surgery date: my doctor only operates Mondays and Tuesdays' date=' he literally got me in the following Tuesday :). By the way today was day six and I feel great!

Hi Touria and Bromo- how was the nausea for the first few days after surgery. I've heard it's bad. Nervous about that.

Awesome! I keep hearing about people that have to do liquids for 2 weeks! I was getting worried. Whew! How long did it take you to get a surgery date after your insurance approved you?

I did mine for two weeks! I'm on day 12. It's easier! Day 1-3 were the hardest! Lost 12 pounds not bad! In two days I will be plicated!!!

      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!
