I am getting ready for preop on May. 13. After that the wait till surgery shouldn't be long should it?

It shouldn't be. I don't think I scheduled my pre op until after I had my surgery date. They want the pre op physical to be less than 30 days from surgery. GOOD LUCK!!

I am also from Minnesota and going through HealthEast Bariatric. I don't have a surgery date yet, but I do have my last appt. with my Nut. On Friday May 9th. After that it will go to the insurance company. I am hoping for a fast approval.

I'm so mad. The OSU called me today. When the scheduled my preop they didn't schedule the appt.for the people that put me under. So now preop is May 13 but anest.appt May 29. I was hoping to be done by then.

      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!
