It may seem like there are a lot of hoops to jump through, but it's all for a reason - they want to make sure people who have surgery are willing to do what it takes... and they also need to know a lot about your health to make sure you are healthy enough for surgery and that they can get you through it. Just hang in there - it will all be worth it in the end! :drool:

It does seem like it takes a long time, but it's worth it. I started my process in March and won't be having surgery till October hopefully.

I am trying to go through my insurance so that takes 6 months of a doctor supervised diet plan. I am now in month two. I was really frustrated when I first heard of the diet requirement but it's going by well and it gives me the time to research exactly what I need to do after surgery to make it a success.

And the medical clearances are there for your own safety as well as to cover the doctor. It's better to know going in if you have any conditions that may make your recovery more difficult. It's a lot easier to anticipate something and have it treated before going under anesthesia. Than having something happen and need to fix it after it's happened.

The sleep apnea issue is actually a really important one. The complication risks of undiagnosed sleep apnea can be horrific so it's better to know if you have it and get it treated with a CPAP before surgery. And a lot of people have no idea they have it until they have a sleep study done.

Hope my rambling helps at least a little.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
