I had my endoscopy yesterday. I am waiting for test results to come back. My regular dr is writing up my letter I did everything else I was suppose to do. I m scared I ll get run around with my insurance. I don't know why just am. I hear so many horror stories dealing with insurance companies. I am having the bypass down due to my GERD and type 2 diabetes

Also having hard time losing weight. My family doesn't understand. Ugh. Anyone else felt this way before finding out ??

I’m scheduled to have the endoscopy procedure done next Friday [emoji51]. I’m very nervous about getting insurance approval as well, but from what my patient coordinator has told me there shouldn’t be any problems as long as I complete all of my requirements and don’t gain weight. Who is your insurance provider?

I am also getting my appointments together for an approval. I am also nervous due to it being close to the holidays. I don't need a endoscopy due to having a colonoscopy done early this year . Just need to attend nutrition class. And get some lab work done . Really pushing to finish everything this week or before the end of the month. Really want my surgery this year due to my job switching insurance next year. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏾

Fidelis . I did call up the insurance and asked some questions. They said they go by whatever Dr says. I hope you don't run into any problems. I guess we just have to stay positive.

Good for you! I pray and hope you get your surgery this year. Stay positive. It's so tough.

      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?
