how long did it take?



Recommended Posts

Those of you who had Aceves for your surgeon, how long did it take to get approved for the surgery after you submitted your history forms?

Thanks.

If I remember correctly, I received confirmation that I was approved within 48 hours. I submitted my application while Nina was on vacation & that is one reason it took a bit longer. They are always so quick to get back with you...usually less than a day.

Have you submitted your application yet?

Yes, I did on Friday. Have not heard anything yet.

Guess I'll email Nina.

Thanks.

Maybe I am remembering incorrectly. I don't know. I do remember being very anxious about getting an answer.

Since you sent it Friday, I bet you'll get an answer today or tomorrow. But I am sure Nina wouldn't mind you emailing to confirm that they received your forms.

You know you can call them. They are great about answering all your questions over the phone.

It seems to me that once I sent back my

email with all the questions, I called the next day and got my surgery date.

I filled out the form on Dr. Aceves web sight one night and called the next day and Nina told me I was approved. Then she gave me several dates to choose from for surgery and told me to call or e-mail the date back that I wanted. Then to e-mail her my flight info. Fast, friendly and kind service.

      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.

      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!
