BjI know this post is old but I have a question. Did anyone not have to habe documentation regarding the 3/5 year weight? To be honest I went a while without insurance and avoiding doctors. I now have new insurance and am worried I won't qualify for vsg due to this. Advice or thoughts?

I have Kaiser insurance I have my orientation on February 7th. We have to take 12 weeks of option classes I heard that halfway through the classes you start all your preop requirements that way when you're done with your 12th class you can set up an appointment to see the surgeon and then have the surgery

Also, I am in Colorado if that makes a difference. I really dont want to be denied it have to wait 4 years just to get that I am still overweight documented. @@TammyLee , do you have that requirement and if so, did you meet it?

With me I have been with KAISER for four years and I have always struggled with my weight so every time I go to my doctors weighed me and my weight has not changed much and as well as my BMI I also have high blood pressure and the last few times I've had blood work done my Doctor said im on the verge of possibly being pre-diabetic if I don't start eating right my doctor always mentions that to 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!

      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!
