Upstate NY too surgery scheduled for 8/31. I'd love to talk to someone going through the same. I'm excited and nervous and I'm pretty sure only the people here can relate to that feeling! ????

Well ladies my coordinator submitted early actually they got it on 8/8/15 so I'm waiting to hear back from them. A little worried because I only completed 5 of the 6 visits thus far next visit is Sept 1st but never the less praying for an approval

Good luck Ms.tami praying for you and the doctor hands

@@sweettooth2015 Fingers crossed for you to get your approval! My doctor tried to submit at the 5th visit weigh in, and even provided information about the sixth weigh in being scheduled, and my insurance denied it.

Hopefully yours will go differently!! xo

My head is spinning! I feel like the process of getting approved took so long, but once the approval came in, time is flying! I've got less than a week now, and I'm still trying to get everything ready. I'm stocking up on my Protein because it's on sale at costco, and I still have to get some more fluids/jello/pudding for when I come back from the hispital. Plus, I need to clean badly because my mom will be staying with me for a few weeks.

Hi I'm pre-op too! Surgery date 12/8/15 with insurance clearance - keeping fingers crossed! I have everything cleared by my surgeon and everything for Cigna; unfortunately, I have to wait until December due to have my gallbladder and lapband removed in May by the same surgeon. He is conservative and wants to wait at least 6 months. Needless to say, I'm in limbo. The waiting truly is the hardest part. I would love to also meet other people who are prepping for surgery - we could definitely all use the support and have a place to discuss things that are difficult to discuss with others not going through this.

      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?
