I am starting my process as well. I met with my doctor yesterday. So I am in the process of scheduling the appointments and losing the required 20lbs on my own.

I just confirmed health insurance coverage and am awaiting paperwork in the mail. Once I send that in and the surgical center validates my insurance coverage, my first appointment will be scheduled. (So, I am WAY early in the process) :)

I'm early in the process too. I've met with the surgeon and had my seminar a few weeks ago. The following week I met with my NUT for the first of 3 visits. On Tuesday I have my psych eval. My requires 90 days with NUT will be August 31 then we can submit to insurance and get my endoscopy and X-ray scheduled as well as my surgery. Hoping to have surgery before October 1 as that's when my deductible will reset and I'm close to meeting it now!

Cool. The scheduler that called me said my insurance has no real requirements, so my timeframe will be dictated solely by what the hospital requires.

Super cool! I actually scheduled two appointments in one day, e.g. psych and Nutrition, in order to speed things up. Keep me updated and if i can help in any way, let me know!

      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!
