Hey everybody. I just wanted to apologize for my rant the other day. I was really upset and just went off. I thought about it after I calmed down and the doctor is probably just wanting the best for me and my band. I don't think there will be any problems when he talks to my shrink. I also talked to my insurance company and found out that my out of pocket maximum is $1500 plus a $300 deductible. So the only amount I will be paying out of pocket is $1800. I love it! This I can afford. I have to save up but I can do this amount. I was thinking I would have to pay something like $4000 for my part. Woohoo!! All the better for me. One step closer. I have to call my surgeon tomorrow and find out what he found out and decided. I have to trust that this is going to happen. I just need to keep praying and hoping. Things will work out for the best I am sure. They always do. Anyway, sorry about the rant. :thumbup::biggrin:

Don't apologize, the waiting and jumping through hoops part is probably the toughest part of banding. We all get frustrated at times and are here to help each other through the good and the bad.

      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!
