I'm IMPATIENTLY waiting.....



Recommended Posts

I have FINALLY been to the surgeon's office. I will meet the surgeon on July 31. They say that they want me to have an EGD with CLOTC done first since I have GERD. Their office requires a 6 month diet and you have to have 4 of their forms filled out before you can schedule at their office. So they are telling me that I can get the last one 2 weeks after the first and they will allow it. Then they say that the authorization will take up to 6 weeks to get from my insurance. Why does it seem to be hurry up and wait with this? Anyone else feel that way?

I hate this waiting as well. My last 6 mth appt is in September. I wish they didn't make jump through hoops like this. Doctor states surgery should be October. Cannot wait. I'm jealous of people posting july surgery dates

I know what you mean! They hurried to get all the preop done and now I have to wait roughly a little over two months. :/

I know what you mean. I'm so excited that I can hardly stand myself. If it were yesterday it would still not be soon enough.

      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!
