so, my doctor submitted everything to my insurance for pre-certification on March 1st. Yesterday, I called the insurance to verify that it had been recieved and it had but it was in "Pending" status. Yesterday evening my doctors office called and left me a message to call them back. I work overnight so I didnt get the voicemail til very late last night so I havent called them back to see what's going on. I'm nervous and my anxiety has got me in a whirlwind of emotions because my doctors office was hesitant about submitting everything anyway due to me not having a weigh in in november for my 6 months because the office I do the weigh ins at were closed due to the holidays. I had called insurance about it and they said to have the doctor doing the weigh ins write a letter explaining it was a scheduling issue on their behalf due to the holidays and that they saw me within a week of when my normal time to see them was.

Let's just say my anxiety has gotten the best of me and I have gone into full panic attacks because of not knowing if i will be approved or not because of the above issues. I try to look on the bright side and tell my self that the call I recieved could be great news and that I shouldn't worry so much but me giving myself a pep talk hasnt been working lately.

How do you guys deal with your anxiety?

Yes, it is probably them calling to schedule your date. Try to keep yourself busy tonight and call them first thing in the morning.

      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.
