Lol, thanks. Girl I fast tracked this thing! I did what everyone said couldn't be done. Plus it didn't hurt that I'd done research a year or so ago. Cigna approved in two weeks! Uhh Dr. Kim office need to call back with official date for surgery!

Oh F.Y.I. they said that they had gotten a stack of approvals!

Congrats ... I did just what you did. I had completed all required work ups and was completed within my 3month requirement. However I picked a surgery date 2 months later because I needed to get everything right at home and work. Doing this has allowed me to be off from work for 8wks. Now please believe and understand that I am going completely crazy and ready to run back to work. Lol. Nov 12th or 13Hershey she comes. Look out. Now in your excited state go get prepared. Your date will be here very quickly.

      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!
