And It Begins ...



Recommended Posts

Today was my final weigh in & everything should have gone to insurance today!

My CNRP that runs the program insists I should be an easy approval, BUT it will probably be at least Tuesday before I hear! I keep having palps that I will be denied. LOL

Anyway.... thanks for all the support on this site!! I am so glad you know how I am really feeling!

Thanks all! They promised to email me to state my approval even before it goes on my file. LOL

I guess that's a definite plus to working with my surgeon's office for my regular 9-5!! And the all have my extension burned into their brains! ;-)

dont go nuts

go into this (knowing its gonna be tough) but it is very much needed to help ready you for surgery. its more (mental) than anything. i swear if i can do it, you can as i was like (there is no way i could do 2 week pre and post with no food and only liquids). but you know what my hub said. you wanted this so do what you need and have to do to make it happen.

so i will tell you the same.

do what you have to do and make this a reality.

you got this. you do. we are all here for you

(even maddys whose butt i shall beat if she keeps taking my pink popsicles).

just start and say to yourself, bring it on.

      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!
