Duno if anyone else attended a weight loss seminar but for those that did, how long roughy after the seminar did you get the surgery.

I have yet to go to the seminar but really nervous/exited about my new life ahead xx

My insurance required a six months diet period with my pcp- so after paperwork, I waited 7 months after I attended a seminar.

My seminar was in May, my first visit was June 9 and I was approved Aug 9. It all depends on your insurance company's requirements.

My seminar was last September and Surgery is scheduled for this Sept. 11th. My insurance had specific requirements so it took longer. Good luck to you, hope it goes quick!

Seminar in July, Surgery in September. From first appointment to surgery date about 60 days... but I was Really ready and VERY persistent... I probably drove the staff at the clinic nuts with all of my checking in and following up, but it's my health and I chose to take charge As my PCP said, they don't know who they're dealing with... :) (I should also add that I was always polite, upbeat and complimentary to the staff too...You have to balance persistence with being nice!)

      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!
