Hey everyone, today I finally got everything in order and saw my 3rd surgeon for my last & final consult! (The other two I saw closed practices... ) and I finally got everything submitted to insurance today for my surgery! I'm so excited and cannot wait for the next 7 to 14 days to go by fast! I'm nervous and anxious to get my approval from insurance so I can set up my surgery... now, I started this process last august hopeing I would have had surgery in april. Well that wasn't the case cause I had to switch insurance plans because it was open enrollment this year for me. And now I'm definitely going to be having it next month! Cannot wait its been very stressful trying to get this all done... anyways a little about me...

I'm 5'5 I weigh 312lbs (started this journey at 340lbs) I cannot wait and just wondering if any of yous out there are also waiting for insurance approvals.:) just needing some friendly people going thro the same with me so I can talk about all the ups and downs. Thanks :)

I was told it can take up to 30days but usually only takes between 7 to 14days for approval. I'm excited and can't wait. Was told ill have the surgery around the middle of july long as everything goes well.

      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!
