Everyone keeps asking what I want for Christmas...



Recommended Posts

...And I just say "nothing" because if I tell them "insurance approval" they will wonder why? and what for? Well my anonymous internet friends, my Christmas gift came early and it looks like my insurance (after my call to them today) approved my surgery! I could cry right now! I am still waiting for my approval letter and for the surgery date and I know something could happen where insurance suddenly changes their mind but right now, I am just so happy!

My fear of rejection was scaring me more than the surgery itself(reliving my college admissions all over again) and I just had to tell someone, because i've been keeping it hush hush until A.) Insurance approves or denies my request for surgery and B.) I get a surgery date.

I will still be hesitant until I get an official surgery date but I just can't keep quiet about insurance initially approving my request for surgery!

Merry Christmas and congrats! I understand, I worry I'll jinx myself so I mostly just congratulate others wishing and wishing. All the best to 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.

        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!
