Today I had 3 Appts ( medical director - NUT and exercise physiologist). A few weeks ago i had an upper GI. It showed a hiatal hernia and intermittent reflux. Mind you I have never had heartburn. The medical director now wants me to see their something something specialist because this may impact my surgery. The hernia is not the issue - it is the reflux. Has anyone had this issue and did they still proceed with your surgery? Kinda freaking here!
On a good note - I lost 12 pounds (15 to go for goal of surgery) and the ex person was impressed w/ my "walk" test!
Any help would be greatly appreciated! THANK YOU

Ohhhh OK! thank you!

I have read about this on here alot today. Would some kind soul share what this is?
-
Any idea how long it lengthened the surgery time?

"They" was the Dr who did the procedure. Thank you everyone - I now have a bit of hope!

Here's to a NEW YOU!

I just came from my upper GI (YUK) and they told me I had a hiatal hernia. They also said this may impact whether I have the surgery or not. Feeling very frustrated! Has anyone incurred this? TIA

Gosh - sometimes i am so jealous of those of you that have your surgery quick! The center that I belong to is very very strict (which I appreciate and all), but one does not even have an appt w/ the surgeon until you meet SEVERAL requirements AND lose 8% of your body fat. I have been trying VERY hard and DRASTICALLY changed my eating habits and have only lost 7 pounds! Just very frustrated today!

You all got this! Just think how different your life will be in 24 - 48 hours!
-
Good Luck! How was your upper GI? i have mine this week?

" A low carb diet uses up the stores of glucogen and helps clear out the fatty deposits. "

Oh mY Gosh - I am so glad you posted this! I am sorta in the same boat! Just started this past July. My center is VERY strict as well - which I am glad about. Cannot even see surgeon until you lose 8%! Grrrr! I have only told 3 pple and i am slowly telling a few others. Also because they are other "life" things i should be attending to but I have my mandatory mtgs.
I for one believe you should be honest w/ your boss and if she is any kind of a good boss or friend, she will be nothing but supportive. Ask her to PLEASE keep this between the two of you. If an alcoholic had to attend mtgs, I do not think bosses can share that info w/ others!!
Stay in touch - we shall go thru this together!

Well I think you look beautiful!
