I am post op 4 days... We submitted all paper work on July 2 and I was approved that Monday. My doctors office now has 600 people who were in the 6 month process wanting surgery asap. I wonder how long people will have to wait for surgery with this influx of everyone . I was happy to do the six months . I learned a lot. This isn't something that should be rushed . Make sure you are ready ! Good luck to all!

Who was your Dr ? I'm with Duke here in Raleigh I'm hoping soon as approval I can get a surgery date , I started this journey on April 19 so im really good on the information I've collected more information on this site been a member since march so how are you doing ? Keep us posted with your progress thanks for the information : )

Morning ... Dr. Paul Enochs did my surgery. He was wonderful! Recovery is slow but we figured out that I have a bladder and kidney infection and that is where the fevers are coming from. I am giving up looking at the scale until my post op appointment on aug 5th. Please feel free to ask any questions :) I will be honest and not sugar coat anything!!!

Spoke with my case manager today and she said BCBS is currently averaging a 3-7 day approval period and that my surgeon is only scheduling 1-2 weeks out right now, so no massive wait period (yet). My last appts are August 11th and 12th then will be submitted to insurance!!

      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.
