Hi everyone I just started my journey. I’m scheduled for cardio eval 4/11 and my first nutrition class . Looking at Sept 18 pre op for sleeve.


Welcome, and congrats on taking the first step to a better healthier and happier you!

I’m in the early stages myself.. had my first support group last week and my psychiatric evaluation is this coming Tuesday. Found out last Friday I have hiatal hernia (idk how that’ll affect insurance) but staying positive!

Mila it could actually work,in your favor. I have known of cases where insurance (confound their devious devilish souls) started to pull a balk at covering weight loss surgery, it got billed as hernia repair and the sleeve or bypass got slipped in under the radar. Sometimes you have to fight them at their own game. I shared on another thread how I had 2 procedures done, my ENT surgeon only billed for the one UHC would cover, the,other in some circles, especially insurance ones, could have been considered cosmetic although there was an underlying risk to my health. There was a small chance I could go septic without it.

      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!
