I am in the process of getting insurance approval...cant wait!!!

1st question tho... I had a baby in decemeber. Have u ever heard of insurance companies making you wait a certain amount of time? Even if you were a BMI of 40+ before and again now...

Does anyone else feel completely nervous waiting for insurance approval???

Many health insurance companies require that you undergo a 6 month medically supervised weight loss program that includes diet and exercise.

I'm waiting on insurance. I've only got one co morbidity with a BMI of 35 so it's iffy. I have a sleep study in two weeks that is supposed to put me over the edge. But what if I don't have sleep apnea?... my husband says that's not going to happen... I have it bad... lol. I also am having an egd because of symptoms of gurd ... have nodules on my tonsils from all the reflux... found that out when I went to ent for horse voice x2 months... sooooo.... I'm hoping enough is wrong with me but no guarantees

I know it's non of my business but since you're asking about stuff I thought it would only be fair to your precious little baby if you waited a couple of years to breast feed plus it is very hard on yourself to do these back to back. I'm by your side and wishing you all the happiness in the world [emoji5]

      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!
