After over a year of being on a wait list for surgery. The office I was getting it done at list all their funding, and now I am back to square one! I am so mad! I cannot afford to go to Mexico and now I am stuck. So very very mad!

Sorry to hear that, but can't you just move all of your paperwork to a new surgeon and not have to start over?

I am very sad to hear they lost their funding. Are there any other options for you?

Unfortunately there is no other option. I only had my referral set and was waiting for a call for my first consult. I have been waiting for a year for that. I was due for my call any time now. Now it was all moot. I am going to have to wait maybe 5 years to save money for Mexico. I am in school now and have to pay out if pocket for it. It just plain sucks.

I don't know what state you're in but what about medi-cal or Medicaid? Will they cover the surgery?

      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!
