Wow! It took me about 20 min to fill out the questions. But it was pretty quick in easy! Guess I lucked out! So far everything has been do quick and easy for me' date=' I'm waiting for something to give!! When do you find out your surgery date?[/quote']

I wish it was quick and easy... Lol like I said not hard questions, but filling in 700 answer bubbles takes time.

They sent my information to I durance yesterday... So any time in the next 6 weeks I should get a call to schedule it... I'm so nervous every time my phone rings... I started with my seminar in October 2012, then had my surgeon visit in November 2012, and my first of 6 nutritionist visits in December 2012. Now I'm just waiting...

You had a lot to do! I went to the orientation on April 18. As of yesterday I'm all set with everything as far as I know. I may need to get a CT scan but they were going to check into that. I am waiting for my case coordinator to email me my dates when I meet with the surgeon. I am neurotic checking my phone every 5 seconds to see if she sent them yet!! I am hoping for a July date, she seemed to think I'd be good to go by June. I'm a teacher, so I want to wait until schools out! Can't come quick enough!

Yes! Lots and lots to do. I also had to do labs, an EKG, and a barium swallow. The barium swallow was the worst.

I also have to get clearance from my PCP after insurance approval, but before surgery. I'm just glad that the last 6 month hasn't take too long. :)

I just hope the days/weeks til I hear from insurance go by just as fast :)

If you are in the DFW area, Merrill Littenberry is by far the best to go to. Shes more than just a therapist.....truly dedicated to healthy living.....mind, body, and soul. She's also a certified personal trainer and motivational speaker. Just love her!

I did my psych eval over the phone. She asked me 20 yes or no questions and that was it. Told me I passed and to pick up my results to give to my surgeon when I meet with him.

My psyche appointment is Thursday the 17th. I hope mine isn't long. I'm going to go pick up my pre registration papers on tomorrow so they'll be already done. The insurance receptionist at the Dr. office said after that and if all goes well she'll submit the paperwork to my insurance. Hopefully I'll have a June date.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
