So my Dr works closely with you during the 6 month weight loss diet plan presurgery. We set a goal for me to lose 16 pounds between now and surgery ( My personal goal is 25) however, I've already lost 9 of those and I'm only in month two ( WOOT WOOT).

Anyone else know if you lose more than you are required if that will mess up the approval process? I know that the more I lose before surgery the better the results after surgery, but I worry still, that I won't be approved.

im not sure but probably not as long as you dont go under the recommended BMI or other pre-quatfications your insurance put on you, it shouldnt mess anything up. I was approved without any other health issues because my BMI was over 40...

I also had the 6 month of doc visits. My doc told me it was the time i should be learning to get in my Protein, cutting out the sugar and carbs and get on an excersice rountine which will be very important after surgery. I dint lose much weight, but i have hypothyroidism and it was hard to lose in the first palce lol. I did get into a great gym, and am taking all kinds of fun cardio classes!

      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.

        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.

      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!
