Right there with you. We submit to insurance Oct. 6th!! So exited and ready. This has really gone fast. At first I was devastated and overwhelmed with all the things I was going to be required to do for approval but my patient advocate at my surgeons office has been wonderful. She had all my requirements listed and appointments made. The process has been much easier and the nutrition and dietician meetings were truly valuable!! Good luck everyone!! Hoping for a November surgery date!!

he doesn't give dates til insurance approves because his practice is so small. It's just him and he only does surgeries once a week. The rest of the week he works for kaiser Permanente. So whenever my insurance approves, 10 days later or the nearest tues. will be surgery day! :)

      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!
