My insurance called me last week to tell me I'm approved!!! Yeah!!! But nothing yet from the doctors office and I've left several messages. I'm so excited I can't focus. How long is the time in between? Are there that many surgeries going on? I would have thought waiting for the insurance would take longer. Please share your experiences-

I have no idea but I had the weirdest experience.. I called my insurance yesterday at 10am and the lady told me "Well it looks like we got the request on the 2nd of this month and it's still pending so call back at the end of the week" in reality it was sent in on the 27th of June, No big deal fine ill call back at the end of the week...Fast forward 4hrs later I get a call from my insurance coordinator from my surgeons office saying I've been approved.

Wow! It's crazy for sure. Thank you for sharing. I know I'm in good company and we're all headed in the same direction. All the best to you- see you in the skinny side:)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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!

        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.
