That place is SLOW! I had my seminar and like a week or two later I had my consultation and I could have scheduled my surgery for 2 weeks after that. It was QUICK! My seminar was end of June and I had my surgery August 3rd.
Part of what delayed me was that I had to switch surgeons in January. I had been with one group and got everything submitted to insurance and then found out that they weren't covered. One of the other things that is delaying me is that my new surgeon is on maternity leave, so even if I do get my date moved up, the earliest it would be is sometime in July.

Very cool! I think I've met only one other person with the same birthday as me!

Lauren, why can't they take you sooner given your circumstances. The recovery is really easy so you will not miss much of school. I would bump the surgery date up if you can.

They are currently trying to get me moved up ahead of some other people (supposedly), but the earliest that I will get in would be mid to late July, regardless, just because the surgeon won't come back from maternity leave until 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!
