Congratulations to you! May I ask, what does it mean to be "approved by your surgeon?" Does it mean that your insurance approved your surgery or you've jumped thru all the hoops they expected you to, before surgery? Sorry to sound ignorant, just wondering? In the meantime, I'm very happy for you! :)

It means my surgeon got the approval from the insurance company.... My grandma always said there is no such thing as a stupid question.. If you don't ask you don't find out the answer...

Gotcha! Thank you! (Thank your grandma for me too!)

Okay, so some insurances need to have approvals then...I didn't know that since my insurance has the WLS as a covered benefit. Well then I'm jumping up & down (NO IT'S NOT AN EARTHQUAKE) for joy for you!!! Good luck in the coming events!!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
