So tired of waiting....



Recommended Posts

I am so tired of waiting. I had my 3 appointments over a month ago. I called this morning to check on my paper work.. I was informed that it is sitting on the surgeon's desk for final approval. When I asked for a possible time frame for surgery, the office manager informed me that I'm now looking at beginning of April. It is so frustrating as I was told end of February. I guess I just need to keep my chin up and hope that I have a date within a week of so.

Sorry I know how hard it is to wait and it felt like forever for me too. It took almost a year for me to find the right surgeon and complete all his requirments and then I was so mad I had to weight several months after all that for a date. It will happen dont give up!

I'm in the WAITING stage too and I HATE IT! I was so HOPING to be SLEEVED on Dec 27th but my problem is with insurance! Waiting for them to approve and as someone posted before I had to JUMP THROUGH HOOPS! They want to wait until January so I have to meet my deductable AGAIN! As I was told HANG IN THERE!!!

ALSO, KEEP CALLING your Doctor's office and keep PUSHING!!! You will bug them so much they will want to get you over with. LOL

Sorry to hear both of you are playing the waiting game. I think that part is the worst. I was blessed to have everything go quick. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

      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!
