I am a bit frustrated today. My last appt with my PCP was good until I mention having chest pains while mowing grass on a very hot and muggy Saturday. My doctor knows I have asthma and I told her that I thought this a respiratory issue and nothing to do my heart. She ordered a stress test and another EKG, my insurance company has denied both saying that I do not need this.

Between vacations, I have yet to speak to my doctor but I did talk to her nurse yesterday. I told the nurse that I was fine and this issue is holding up my request for the Gastric Bypass Surgery. My insurance requires a six-month trail, which I have done, and now this.

I am so ready for the next chapter in my life. I pray about this each day and for a sign that I am doing the right thing and hope that this not the sign.

As anyone else had this type issues while waiting for approval, encouraging thoughts will help me today!!!

Hi I would make an appointment with that doctor and explained to him just what you stated above that you were experience pain because you over did it and it was hot, I would also explained to him that my insurance will not cover any more test because they feel its not warranted and you would like to proceed wit you surgery. Good luck my friend and hang in there , we are all pulling for you.

      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!
