I agree u need to think of ur after care' date=' this office sound very irresponsible. Maybe you should speak with the director or office Manager to see can you get some answers. Did u research this surgeons background.[/quote']

To be honest no I didn't research him I was referred to him by my PCP I read a couple of things on him on their website it's him a 3 other doctors that does the surgery and specialize in others things but now I'm going to look into what I need to do to change

I am glad you got to speak to someone. At this point I would have spoke to the janitor to get through LOL. Hopefully all will get taken care of fast and hopefully they can earn your trust.

Sometimes we have to do things we are reluctant to do, are the other doctor in the same office.

Yes very easy fix!!! Go to your surgeons psychologist and do her psych evaluation and let them resubmit!!!

Once you get in to see the psych and she writes up her report your advocate can resubmit. Shouldn't take months unless the psych us booked up like mine was and took me a couple months to get an appointment. I go October 3rd for my psych evaluation which takes all day about 5 hours. Suppose to take some kind of test then will talk to her. Then she grades the test and writes out her evaluation which can take a day or two for her to do

this psych has a website where you have to watch about 8 videos and fill out everything online so when you see her it's in and out

So I still can't get no one at my surgeons office my patient advocate goes straight to voicemail all week' date=' I called my insurance company and they saying my case is on hold waiting on a decision and they told me to call my surgeon office and tell them to call in cause they have a line that only doctors call and get detailed info and I told they my doctors office don't communicate with me and they was like sorry you have to try to get thru to you surgeons office cause they have detailed information, wow this is crazy all I can do is wait on them to call me when they get ready I guess smh[/quote']

Holy crap! I hate the run around. I'm one of those crazy b***ches that would drive up to them & say well we gonna get this process going or should I pull you out of that desk.

      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?
