Hi everyone! I'm just so excited I have to share this with y'all. I got my surgery date this morning, I will be getting sleeved on April 10th!!

Anyone out there getting sleeved close to that date? I would love to have some surgery buddies.

Congrats!!! I hope I will be also. My paperwork was submitted to insurance today. They said it should be about 2 weeks. Surgeon said he would be able to fit me in at the end of the month if we get it back soon, if not the beginning of April it will be for me also.

How excited are you? Im so excited and anxious waiting on ins. approval. How long did your insurance take to send back the approval?

@SuaniyaI'm really excited now but I'm sure I will get nervous as the date approaches. I feel so relieved to finally have a date like it's all really happening now.

I have Kaiser and they do things a little different. They don't have to send for approval. If I qualify with my BMI and make it into the program and then finish the program, I get the surgery. I feel bad that a lot of people go through the whole process and could possibly get denied by insurance. I can only imagine how frustrating that is.

I'm thinking good thoughts for you and sending positive vibes your way that your insurance approves the surgery :)

Oh I like that so much better. Im super worried because my bmi was 39, but i do habe hpb, and my ins. only requires 1 comorbity with 35 to 40 bmi, so i should be fine, but it is a little nerve-wracking waiting. Its been 6 long months and now ready to be sleeved, like tomorrow, lol :)

      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!
