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

      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.
