I attended my seminar on Jan 4. I turned in a packet and had told the nurse there that it wasn't complete, that I had to get my doctor's referral. She said, that is ok, just give us a call when you get it. So I got it..4 of them in writing. I called to pass on the info and the receptionist told me to leave a msg for the ins coordinator so I did and asked her to return my call. I didn't hear anything for a week so I called back,,the receptionist,,sounding a little frustrated said she would write the msg down and leave it on her desk, I told her I was sorry she had to go to that trouble, I just needed to turn in my info, she said no, don't feel bad..you deserve to hear something from her. She told me if I didn't hear from her within the next day to call back so I did. The ins coor. wasn't available..again. So they left another note for her. When I finally rec'd a return call from her..last Monday..she act like she was mad at me. She told me she was out of town and they should've told me that. She also said, "Oh, I sent your packet back to you because it was incomplete". I was like, you told me to call the info in when I got it and that's what I was trying to do. I told her I was never told she was out of town. Her tone changed and she said, well, I have a copy of your packet right here in front of me and well..I'll just take the info you have over the phone and turn it all back into the clinician. I asked her about all the paperwork I have, she's like,,well just bring it in when you come for your consult with the physician. I said, when will that be,,and she said in a couple days,,they will call. I still haven't heard anything. This is supposed to be the best in the state? I've been held up for a month. Should I be angry? Is this all normal?

      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.

        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.

      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!
