Thanks!!! , I have not talked with my surgeon yet, just the insurance but when my pre- surgical coordinator submitted the paper work they said it would be on the 20th of this month which I may Have to change to the 27th for work reasons ( insurance gives me 90 day window to reschedule is need be) but it's soon and that's all that matters!

What kind of things did the insurance require of you?

I had gotten approved with the 6mo nut appointments(which I had done prior to wanting wls), letter from my pcp, pulmonary consultation, 2 sonograms and an endoscopy..I hadn't had my psych eval or clearance from my cardiologist so im not sure what they were looking for but im not going to question it

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
