I started my journey back in March. After meeting all of the prerequisites that my insurance requires, I was finally approved today! I will be sleeved on August 13. I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. I am both excited and nervous at the same time!

I was approved after 4 months. I had to do the Psych, Cardiologist, 3 months nutritionist, sleep study ( 2 times ) and Endoscopy. I have Cigna, it took almost 2 weeks for approval once all of the information was submitted.

Hi that's wonderful I'm also waiting for approval and I'm also anxious and nervous as well because I hear all the stories. I wonder if its a good idea to read all the stories if gas, bad breath bad stomach aches from eating certain things. I don't know I guess I wait and see.

      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.

      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!
