So if you have read any of my other posts, I apologize but I am going to reiterate a little so new readers/responders know what's going on.

I was diagnosed with mod/severe dysplasia when I was pregnant last year. I had the LEEP done in April and I go for regular PAPs every few months. My surgeon said he needed documentation stating that I received treatment for this and am under the care of a physician. Done. So they called me back a few weeks ago and said that I needed to have another PAP (per my GYN) since I was due so I am waiting on that next week but got an email from the surgeons office stating that my PAP had to be normal before I could be "cleared" for surgery. Normal? My PAPs aren't normal and my GYN informed me that they wouldn't be normal for a while. So I sent a nasty-ish email back stating that is not what they originally told me. She said that they will submit all my information to the board after I get my PAP and they will see that I have a history of abn PAPs and may say they need a letter from my GYN stating that I am good to have surgery. My question is should I go ahead and have my GYN submit that just so that they will have it and it won't make me wait another couple weeks before I can get approved?

I would go ahead and have your GYN send the letter; it never hurts to be proactive. I like to stay on top of things and get the requested things done as quickly as possible. Good luck to you!

      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!
