Have to wait another week !!!



Recommended Posts

I have been waiting since my final appt. Dec 18th to get a call from Dr's Office sayig the insurance company approved my surgery. Phone rings today & it's the Dr's Office calling. The insurance company didn't get like 8 pages of the fax do they had to refax it. Nurse said it'd be another week. I'm glad they called & told me but I am so bummed about it.

I was on my 2 week liquid diet (through the holidays I must add) when I was on my last day the Dr office called and said the ins denied me. After suffering missing Christmas dinner and Christmas parties I had to jump through red tape with the ins and do it all over again. Well I finally got the call yesterday I was approved and scheduled for next fri. Jan 18th. I understand about the frustration though but I guess we all have obstacles to overcome. 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.

      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!
