Congrats!! I know the feeling. Who is your healthcare provider? I have Unitied Healthcare and they covered my entire procedure except for the $50 copayment for the outpatient service and my $20 copay for office visits to the surgeon's office for check ups and fills etc... Way to go, I know you are going to have a great weekend!!! Celebrate!!!!!!!!

Except fills are different I think!

But heck! I pay $50 or more to eat out every weekend with my family! Now I will just save that money for fills!!!!

Wooohooo!

I just finished with the last of the tests required for ins and whatnot.

SO now I just have to see when all the results come back and Dr B's staff get all that stuff to the ins.

      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!
