All of my paperwork was submitted Friday to United. Surgery will hopefully be end of August early September. All depends how long I have to play the waiting game with insurance. I am really nervous and excited to finally start this new adventure. It has been a long journey and I wish I wouldn't have waited this long.

I'm with united too, and just waiting to hear back from them.. Doctor office said 5-7 days and that was last Thursday.. I'm anxious to get finished and onto a better life.

I called United for an update today and told them that I would like a decision sooner than later because my mom is going to fly out here to help with the kids. The lady was super nice and said she would attach a note to my claim and put it in high priority. She said they should have an answer within 24-72 hours. Mindy, maybe our surgery dates will be close. It would be nice to have someone to talk to that is going through the same changes at the same time.

      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!
