Ok I'm updating you on my situation - My insurance is awesome and approved me within 2 days. Like I said previously, I have to have surgery before November 10th. Well, the surgery scheduler wanted to give me a date of November 11th!!! I said told her that there's absolutely no way I can do that and it had to be before November 10th. She called me back a couple hours later and gave me a new date of October 19th!

Call your insurance and find out if they have a grace period (they should). Technically, I had 31 days after November 10th, but I didn't want to do it after that day.

Just pray your insurance approves quickly. Make sure your surgery scheduler knows you must have it before the date you tell them.

Good luck to you and keep us updated!!

I'm sooooo happy for you!! Good luck love!!

      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!
