I Recieved The Call For My Insurance Approval



Recommended Posts

Hello Gang,

My insurance approved me today for surgery. I have to meet the surgeon on 5/17/2012. I am soooo Excited!

Thank you GOD!!

What should I expect now? I am a little confused about the whole process, but extremely happy it is moving FAST!!

I even stepped out on Faith yesturday before I knew and brought some chicken broth that I would need after surgery! :)

Now that you approved, your docotor should be able to give you a surgery date!!! Congrats!! And lets us know when you get your official date!!!

Way to go!!!! You will be so thankful once you have VSG! What's next depends on your Dr. Everyone I've seen/read about is somewhat different. Some require preop diet (mine didn't!) Some require mental health eval (mine didnt!) I did have to see NUT ONE time! Then wham bam, thank you ma'm, I was sleeved!!!!!!! Good luck to you! You will do great!

      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!
