How long did it take to get a surgery date ? I call the doctor's office every day hoping to get a date for surgery. Told the doctor is reviewing my chart. I do know that October is booked. Will I ever get a surgery date ? Is anyone waiting for a surgery date ? The waiting is the hardest part. So true

Tom Petty ! I am slowly losing hope . . . .

Dont lose hope!!! It felt like mine took forever too.. My last appt with my dr was 8/18, got approved for surgery on 9/5, and finally just got a call for scheduling last week. He is so far booked that my surgery date isnt until 10/20 which I'm trying to be very happy about but am a little bummed it is so far away it seems like. I would use this time to practice the things you will have to learn to do after, such as waiting 30 mins after eating to drink. And working on exercising more. I hate it. I hate sweating. But I'm slowly working my way towards it. I've been watching an episode of a show on netflix while im on the treadmill and that's been helping so far. Good luck and hope you get a date soon :)

Try getting approved in September and having an approval date of January 2015. I won't even have a surgery date til January and who knows how far it will be out then. I'm praying daily for patience and sanity. I feel like life is absolutely on hold so disheartening.

      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.

        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.

      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!
