Patiently Waiting...band Leak Waiting On Bcbs Approval For A Sleeve....



Recommended Posts

Said I was done with surgeries but four years of believing it was my fault I wasn't losing weight with the lapband.....I feel like I need to get in captain's chair and take control. I would go to have fills and really have no success. I would become depressed, then stop going...vicious cycle until this year. I should've been more proactive in the first place. Last month I went back to surgeon's office who performed my band surgery. I told them why I hadn't been there in over a year. It was like for the first time they listened...it was the first time I screamed (let my voice be heard instead of being a passive patient). I have a leak....all the internalizing I've done. Moving forward, they submitted paperwork to insurance company. I want to call the everyday (never been "that" type of person). I dont but I do every couple of days. I need to make this happen....and although this thread is titled patiently waiting......I am far from patient. I am not the obsessive type but this here.....I am obsessing on. I need to get my life back. I wrote in my first post on this site that I've seen the beauty of plus sized women. The fashionable one, confident....those who embrace their love of food.....it just has never been me....I applaud them. I have always seen myself small...I was before when I lost 100 pounds. I didn't want to have another surgery, but I need this. I pray first and foremost that I am approved, and I pray my approval is swift. Ready to live again.

Waiting for approval....

      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?

        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.
