I have made a few posts but wanted to update and say that I have made the decision to go forward with the surgery and I have a date! February 8th.

I am excited and nervous. 2010 will be an exciting year for me.

I feel very fortunate that I have insurance that will pay 100% of the costs, I know from what I have been reading not everyone is so lucky. Without that I don't think I would be able to do it. I will turn 50 in April, so what a great early birthday gift for myself!

Thank you to everyone who posts - I have learned so much, and gotten so much useful information from reading through the posts.

Congrats! Your date will be here before you know it! It's awesome that your insurance will cover you 100%!

BTW, to send a pm...click on the person's name & select send person private message (pm).

Go to the UserCP at the top of the page and it will bring you to a column on the left and from there you can find the private messages. You can type in Susan's name and send her a pm from there.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery!

WOW - never knew that - always go to USER CP and then click send message -- this is SO much faster! Learned something new today - will go to bed less stupid tonight!

Oh I have done it that way too. I do it that way if I don't have that person's messages in my inbox. If I have already pmed with somebody, I just go in my inbox and hit reply. It is way easier actually to just click on their name in a thread.

      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'. ???

      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!
