I AM APPROVED!

I called the ins. co. today ( I have been calling 2x a day lately) and the rep. told me that the letter was being mailed today.

I called surgeon's office and I have a band date of Sept.9 , holla!

Thank you all for your prayers.

FYI: it took approx: 2 1/2 weeks to get approval. (not bad considering they lost some of my info.)

You need to go buy your little black inspiration freakum dress for the holidays

Hmmm I have been eyeballing this dress at babyphat.com and I really really want it, although I can't fit it yet (not even close, I don't have a band yet). I'm sure it will be sold out by the time I lose the weight. The dress is 69.00 you guys think I should buy it now for inspiration?

YEP! go buy it.....so when it's 97 degrees and 95% humidity and you don't want to work out....the dress can give you a little push in the right direction.

Angel... you better buy that dress and hang it in the front of your closet for inspiration. I recently joined the gym and was working out on the stepper and was tired (it was the last of three machines) my goal was 15 minutes each and I tell you that third machine after two minutes I was beat. But I closed my eyes and kept saying "skinny body, skinny body, skinny body) and finished my last 15 minutes.....LOL

April..my six months is up on September 3rd..so I'm right behind you. My plan is to schedule my nutrionist appointment on September 3rd and Surgeon Appt on Sept 4th..Do I sound pressed ....

      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!
