Ok Kim now you've jinxed yourself, everything will be your fault because you 'touched' her file. Your job sounds so exciting. How did you hear about it?

Oh Jennifer I hope not....but you are probably right.

How did I find it....well I told him (Dr. V) & Erin the office manager that I was being laid off and if they knew anyone hiring I would get them my resume. The next thing I know is I was emailing my resume to him and even w/ no medical exp they thought I could do the job. I am very thankful for the chance. I have learned so much in just a week...WOW the medical field is SO different. It is alot of fun though....

I'm excited, but the waiting is killing me! If I get a date in April, from research to surgery will be 8 long months. Hey, it's a life time committment, better later than never :)

Karen, I hope you hear something soon girl. 8 months is a long time to wait but it will be well worth it! Please let us know when you find something out.

OK, so I called UHC. They have a reference number on the pre-determination, but no status yet. At least I know they have it! :) I also got the standard "it could be 30 days" disclaimer.

We are going to have to have a party when you get the approval!!!

      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!
