Hi all,

I'm back on the road to getting banded again.

Here's the story..

I was going to get banded a year ago, and I was going to be self paid. But right before the surgery I started having financial issues, and needed to call it off.

Well I'm back and ready to go at it again!! Also in that time I switched companies, so I want to try and get them to approval the procedure first.

So cross your fingers!!! :biggrin:

i had BCBS 2 years ago and they did not approve me. i recently started a new job and will be there a year this month. i now have UHC, so i went back to my doctor to see if they could get me approved and i was so happy to hear from them (they told me 3 wks) ago and i'm now scheduled to have surgery of 4/24.....dont give up.

Thank you all.

I should hear from my doctors office tomorrow to see what they think, and I'll take it from there.

This weight is really starting to bother me, even my little daughter looks at me as fat... she's 6... so thats it, its time to make the change.

      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!
