Impatiently waiting for the next step.....



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!!! I am new to this forum and sooo jazzed to have found one specifically for the LAPBAND!! YAY! I am also a member of Thinnertimes.com and have been ridiculed for having chosen the LAPBAND over GASTRIC BYPASS. It is really an annoyance to be told that I am wrong on my own personal decision......but anyway. HAha!

I am currently waiting for the Psychiatrist that did my Psych eval to respond to my phone calls about my evaluation. She didnt bother to "clear" me or not clear me for the surgery. The whole purpose of my $250 eval. DUH!

Aside from that, all other requirements have been covered. That is the hold up. I cant wait to be able to post that I have been approved (or denied.....heaven forbide!!). Just wanted to say "HI!!!!" Also cant wait to read more of the posts in this forum.......

Hi Jenn! Welcome, I hope you can find the support you need here. The insurance process is frustrating, but it's worth it in the end.

Good luck- keep us posted on your approval.

I'm feeling very grateful that my insurance was approved in less than 2 weeks. My doctor had that done before I even scheduled any appointments. I have them all scheduled for this month and hopefully I can schedule my surgery for September! YEA! I'm so excited.

      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!
