:help: Hello People!

I've been rejected by my insurance company once but since then I've been diagnosed with thyroid problems and diabetes, so my doctor wrote a letter and they are sending it to my insurance again. Wish me luck! I can't wait to hear.

Good luck!

I'm new too. I went to a seminar last week. I'm lucky that my insurance covers the surgery. I have told some family members/friends about my interest in the surgery and have been very surprised by their negative responses.

I'm not going to let their opinions discourage me. I need to do this for me. They may like me fat, but I don't like being like this.

I hope you aren't discouraged by the insurance company. Continue trying to get the surgery approved. :D

good luck . i hate to deal with the insurance companies. i went to mexico. so if all else fails and you have to do self pay you can always research mexico. its about 8000.00. well worth it if you can afford it. but, lets hope you can get it done with insurance...... you would be lucky to have your doctor close to where you live..... traveling to mexico is not always convenient. hope all works out for you.......

      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.

      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!
