I finally got to see the surgeon last Wednesday. I now have to play the waiting game for insurance approval too! I am hoping for an early-mid August date since I start a new job Aug 19! If not, I may have to wait til December :( dr said he would get right on it but as of Friday late day, he hadn't dictated the notes for the office manager to submit! I know he's busy but I am so hoping to get the surgery behind me and on to a newer, healthier me! Fingers crossed that I will join all of you August sleevers!!! The Doc seemed optimistic, the office mngr, not so much! still....positive thoughts....

I can relate. I started a new job the end of may and the same day I started work I got a call from the doctors office saying I was approved and could be scheduled for June 4th. Unfortunately because I just started my new job I couldn't accept that date and had to schedule for August 26. By then my vacation time will have kicked in and I will be off of the probationary period of the new job. Good luck and I hope you get approved quick!

      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!
