I am kinda frutstrated ......seems like this whole procedure is taking so long. 1/22/06: Informational meeting 2/16/07: took the phsyc test 3/30/07 meet with the phsyc dr. and went over test results...today 4/11/07 received a phone call my Dr. (surgeon) consultation is 5/15/07 and then they will submit into ins..and if I am approved I am looking at a surgery date of sometime in August:faint: .....Does it usually take 7-8 months from start to finish? I must of had different "visions" because I was thinking 4-5 months....I just hope my insurance approves this because after having my heart and mind set I really don't want to deal with not being able to do this. I know there is not set rule but I am just wondering how long others have had to wait....:cry

Thanks....

Sounds like your doctor is really booked up. You just have to stay patient. Good luck. I understand how you feel but mine only took 8 weeks.

I know how you feel. My insurance is taking there time. I guess they think we will just go away if they take forever. Hang in there!

I went to the meeting on 10/12/06 and got all my stuff down in early march and i just got the the green light from my insurance yesterday. I think I should know the date on friday. I thought my insurance would say no so I started to look for other options long time ago. It's alot of money but for what you get I think it's priceless.

      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?

        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.
