How long did the approval process take for you? Which insurance are you on? Trying to get a better idea of timeline. Now that I've committed to do this, I'm so impatient to get it done :)

I have bcbs TX and it took about 10-12 days after my doctors office submitted the request for them to generate the approval (which was last Friday). They called me today to schedule the actual procedure. It felt like forever but in all honesty the process went quickly. I first walked into my doctors office determined to have this done just 1 month ago (almost to the day).

Wow, thank you for responding, I hope mine moves along that fast :) I too have BCBS TX. I'm doing my psych eval and nutrition eval both next Tuesday. Good luck with your surgery. So exciting...

I'm using Dr Frenzel (BodEvolve) and facility is Forest Park Medical in Dallas. One of my best friends is going through Dr Nicholson. Have a cousin who had great success with Dr Holder but another cousin who had nightmare experience with Dr Cernero...poor thing is still leaking and it's been 6 weeks! Nerve racking but so excited to start this journey.

      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!
