I'm just ready to get a date. Have my visit with my primary dr Wednesday and hopefully he will sign my approval letter so I can then schedule an appt with my surgeon and be able to schedule my surgery. I know I have to get some blood work done and a urine sample so I'm thinking I'll need another visit with my primary care dr before I receive that signature???? hoping I'll be able to have my surgery scheduled for next mt, too ready!!!

whoa bud!!!

in my experience it didn't go so quickly

you need that letter signed by doctor

then go through all the jumps, hurdles of insurance

after all is completed

then i think you will have surgeons office send to insurance for approval

now the above was what i had to do

maybe i misunderstood and you have already gotten approval??

doesn't sound that way

don't mean to rain on your parade

i think you have to slow down

if you meet the requirements, have the co-morbidities (msp)

you hopefully will "pass"

looked in dictionary for correct spelling of co-mor.....

couldn't find

my spell check doesn't give me the correct way to spell

any people that are "gooder" than me

take a bow

only being sarcastic, really

still love all of you, except....................

you know who you are :lol:

(only kidding!!!!)

hope you get your reply sooner than later

and surgery will be scheduled

good luck bud

My insurance already approved my surgery I been did everything I needed to get approval. Now all I need is my doctor to sign off. Not sure what he may request before doing so that's all.

      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?
