Had all my pre op testing today. Had to have an upper GI. Dr told me I have a hiatal hernia! Is this something that they would cancel my surgery for? Is this something he can repair with my surgery? I'm so ready for this and don't want a set back.

My husband is at Keesler Afb in MS. I'm having the surgery in Mobile Al. You?

After my consult I had to go to all my Drs and get them to send in all medical records. That took about 2 weeks. Was approved right away. Then it took 2 weeks for the nutrician class. Then three more weeks to get back to see dr for set up visit. Then 4 weeks for preop tests and surgery. Waiting on each dr visit is what takes so long. My surgery is 6/19.

I have Tricare regular south. It was very easy. Approval was quick. I will have surgery on the 19th. Took about 2 1/2 months for everything.

Congrats! I'm just a week before you on the 19th.

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks so much. I have 3more weeks before my surgery. This is great.

I would also ms DLCoggin thank you so much Terrifaison@hotmail.com

Wow that's great. I hope mine works that fast. But why did you have to have it again? Did something happen?

Wow 8 months. I'm so glad I didn't have to wait that long. Your only a week or so out from surgery. How did it go? How do you feel now?

I would love to have a copy of the list also please.

So glad to hear your doing good! Prayers answered. 25 more days then it's my turn.

Anyone heard about John?

Panda is right. We need you. Good luck sweet lady.

I'm praying for you too John. Best wishes!

Does you Dr have a dietitian that works for him? Mine does and said if at anytime after surgery that you are not losing to call. Yes even years out. They will help us figure out what the problem is. Hope this helps.

Joanna where in NY? I was born and raised in Watertown.

Missy are you military? My husband is in Air Force reserves! I was active Air Force but that was 22 years ago.

Hi! My surgery is on 6/19. I have not told anyone except my husband ( who is very supportive) and my (adult) kids and of course my boss. I'm afraid of what my friends and other family will think, or say. I probably should not think that way, but I do.

Mobile AL. You?

Got a surgery date. 6/19. The countdown begins.

Hi! I just found out today my surgery is 6/19 also. Getting ready too. We are all in this together. Welcome.

Thank you. I'm hoping it will only be a couple of weeks. I'm ready.

I'm new to this forum. I started my journey on March 15 when i had my first visit with my pcp. I've been through all the classes and I'm approved. I go Monday to find out my surgery date. So excited. Hope there is not a long wait for that. Feels like its been forever already. Everything has gone very smoothly so far that I'm just waiting for something to go wrong. Well hello again to everyone.
