My deductible is 1,500 and insurance pays 100 percent after that. I just learned today that mI also have health reimbursement arrangement HRA so I pay the first 500 and they pay the 1,000

I have preop visit this Thursday and my confirmed surgery date is scheduled for 3/18/2013. It feels so surreal. I have purchased nothing for surgery and I am freaking out. Hopefully I will get a list of items to purchase this Thursday.

I'm so nervous I could throw up. I have my pre-op visit tomorrow. I hope I don't chicken out. Tired of reading horror stories!

The horror stories are scary but motivational. The horror stories for me are the people who eat fried chicken "without the skin" two weeks after surgery and wonder why they aren't losing. I am going to work my first six months like a full time job.

I also have high mark BCBS an I am in my 6th month of the diet program. How many times did you have to see the nutritionist? I have seen my PCP once a month. I'm glad to hear they respond 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!
