Hello' date=' I'm Kailie.. I'm 25 I live in Michigan and I've been heavy my entire life! Have 2 children a girl 6yrs and a boy 1yr. I am 5'8" and currently 345lbs. I also battle PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) I attended my first seminar last night where the surgeon who gave the presentation only made me want the sleeve even more! He said more and more insurance companies are approving the sleeve!! Lord help me, I hope mine will!!![/quote']

Hi, we have the same stats or pretty close, I an 5'8 and weigh 330. I know what you mean, I attended my seminar in Feb and have been doing everything I had to do since then a far a records, tests, cpap compliance reports etc....just got my approval today (after a one day appeal)!!! Good luck, I look forward to following your journey! I am in Tampa, where are you?

Hi, I was denied on Monday, filed my appeal yesterday and got approved today!!! I submitted a letter and a picture of me explaining why I want and need this surgery, some info about me, stressing my determination to do this and NOT fail. I also attached all of the medical records from the last six months....and it worked!! Hang in there, don't delay unless you have to for some reason...

      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!
