I live in Maryland, but will be having my surgery in Washington, DC at Sibley Memorial Hospital which is under John Hopkins.

Anyone from this area?

The waiting is terrible!!!! I have an appointment on the 24th with Vanessa and then last appointment with Dr shin on the 23rd of October. How long did you have to wait for a surgery date after your last appointment weigh in.?

1st mtg with him Feb 8, everything was done by may 14, insurance denied based on need. My pcp suggested i appeal. I did they had 45 days. Decision was reversed on 7/19. Sent auth for coverage to him on 7/25. Went for prep on 7/26. Now five wks out.needless to say stayed on top of appointments and keeping logs, etc. It could'vebeen sooner w/out insurance issue. but it happened when it was supposed to.

So they more or less scheduled your pre op day after he got approval. See I am just curious how long I will have to wait after seeing him on the 23rd of October

      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!
