I know this is an old post but I am using Dr. Avara also. I have a surgery date of April 15th. I only have one more visit with the NUT next friday and I see Dr. Avara for my last appointment before my surgery on April 10th. I have done every thing the office says I need to do with my insurance but they will not submit it until after next Friday. I'm nervous about getting approved. I guess its just because insurance companies can be so difficuld some times. Have you had your surgery yet?

Any suggestions or advice????

Hi! I have had an awesome experience with my surgery!! I was really anxious about the insurance at that same point. Just remember that they pre-certified you after your information session. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have or share my experience. Just send a pm.

I also had an awesome experience and continue to have an awesome experience. My journey has gone without a single hitch and I have lost 72lbs and am 6 lbs from goal. It seems so surreal still, but you will be here before you know it. Totally natural to be anxious at this point. They will take care of you every step of the way. Dr. Avara and staff are amazing.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
