I'm in Ga but I haven't begun my process yet. Still researching doctors and what not.

That's fine... We all have to start somewhere... Mine began by trying to get insurance to cover it and you guessed it .insurance won't cover it for me.I finally made up my mind ... After months and months of researching to go to Mexico ..

Where in GA are youu??? Are you going through insurance or self pay ? I'm self pay and going to Mexico Like lots of other woman from this site... The sleeve is new here in the states but they been performing it in Mexico for years ... Good luck and you can PM me anytime.....

I'm in Georgia too. Instead of fighting with my insurance company, I've decided to go with a Dr. in Mexico. I'm self pay as well... I'm scheduled for July 1st. It'd be great to have someone to talk to with similar experiences. smile.gif

I am outside Atlanta, GA. I have been fighting with UHC for going on one year now! I am finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. UHC would not accept a support group that I attended for six months. I had to do the process over. This time I went with individual counseling for requirement.

I anticipate surgery in August (I hope sooner if possible). Please send me a message anytime.

      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!
