Oh wow I can't wait to get there! How long was everything overall for you, I only just started in December and I feel like the estimated date of survey in mid April may not be realistic. Some people wait for several more months.

@@reinay86 I promise it comes so fast! I went to my initial consultation 10/27/16. I had to do 4 monthly nutritionist meetings. A Psych eval, a dietician appt, an egd, a heart echo, stress test and a sleep study. *whew* and finally all was ready to submit 1/25/17. So the 4 months was all. Who do you have for insurance?Oh and as long as my approval comes back asap, I'm going for surgery 2/21 or 2/22!

What doctor are you going with? I have chp too and Dr Wright always says not to worry about that they're an easy insurance. I'm praying so bc I'm nervous as helllll. Lol. I have one more nutrition appt which is March 3rd (Dr made me do 3) then I can submit for approval.

      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!
