Hello guys, some questions :)



Recommended Posts

It should be submitted to insurance tomorrow. I met all insurance requirements as of Saturday morning with the psych. I will be calling them to make sure they submit it. It is supposed to be approved within 5 days, and surgery is generally scheduled 2 to 3 weeks after approval. So very soon.

Awesome, good luck on your journey :)
I have to wait until june-august or longer, we´ll see.
I live in Sweden and next step is to go to a information meeting and then wait for an appointment to a surgeon 1-2 months to get cleared and then there is maybe 2 months to surgery after that!
They don´t do this kind of surgeries in the summer when there is less staff :(

I am 5'8 and started at 316. Sleeved in June and down 101 lbs. I want to lose about 35 more. If i was your height, I would say shoot for a final goal of 160 or 170. That may still have you in what they call the obese range, but who cares. You should always start with smaller goals. Your first 50, then 100, then to your final goal. And don't beat yourself up when you plateau, which you will! Fight through it and keep going.

      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!
