My First Appointment



Recommended Posts

Just got to my doctors office for my first appointment, only to find out its been CANCELLED! The not-so-friendly receptionist explained they tried to contact me, when I asked what number they had it was incorrect. I've been waiting for this day for sooo long! Now it's been pushed back until the end of February :( I'm devastated! End rant.

That stinks Nikki. As an insider secret, try calling the office on a weekly basis to see if they've had any cancellations that you could squeeze into. At least you have the existing appointment now if nothing pans out, but if it does, you'll be in there sooner than expected!

Good luck

Thank you for responding, it feels good to know there are others out there who truly understand. I am going to call every day. Hell hath no fury like a woman who has been blown off! ;)

hahaha, dont I know it! If they dont have any cancellations, maybe they'll get so sick of your phone calls and just create one for you so you'll stop calling. Either way, thats a win!

I agree that you can call tomorrow and reason with them. It takes sheer determination on our part to get through the hoops that are laid out. I say call and call again.

You can do it!!!!

      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!
