I'm in Colorado and hoping to use my insurance. I have medicaid through the end of the year so I'm hoping to be able to get it done in time. I've been seeing my PCP to start my medically supervised diet so if they will count my two weigh ins with her then I MIGHT be able to get it done in December. If not then I'm probably going to have to go to Mexico and pay for it with my tax refund.

Ok, so I was originally suppose to have my first visit on August 4th, but someone cancelled and I was moved up to July 21st. I'm so excited and nervous. I stayed up late last night watching YouTube videos of first appts/consultations.

1st appt went great!!! I met my surgeon and he seems awesome. Broke everything down, even drew pictures of the procedure. My insurance only requires 3 months of medically supervised weight loss. So I have 90 days to get all my test done and clearances approved. I'm so sure time will fly by..... oh the dietician wants me to lose 10lbs before surgery. Sounds very doable. I'm super excited!!!!

      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?

        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.
