Waiting is the hardest part?

Now I wait....

I am sure the waiting is the hardest-- I am pre-op now, and with just a week to go, I can hardly wait.

Take good care of yourself in the meantime and get lots of reading in on your new lifestyle... use the wait time as an opportunity!!!

Best of luck!!

Hang in there, Dana. I actually just posted that my stuff got submitted today too. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you hear something soon.

Let's hope we BOTH hear something this week (maybe overly optimistic, but let's think positive LOL)

waiting is definetly the hardest part .. i can attest to that , my suggestion, after a week call the insurance company. that is what i did and i found out that i was approved. let me tell you teh previous week and a half was like a life time of waiting ... and wondering ... now i know my answer and the insurance company is faxing me a copy of the appoval. We all have to remember that this is the first stage to the new and improved us .... Maybe this is to help teach us patience :biggrin:

It's seems like all I've done is wait wait for my consult, wait for my surgical consult, for for the insurance approval, wait for the nutritionist consult, and now now at the end... wait for a surgery date, again I'm glad I'm committed to this. boy oh boy

Txcloverangel...good luck...I'm so excited for you!! Let me know how it goes with the approval! I have aetna, too, and I have 3 weeks left before my 3 month jump through the hoops act is done! I thought 3 months would never get here fast enough, and now it is only 3 weeks out! :biggrin:

      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!
