So irritated! Surgeons office lied?!



Recommended Posts

I read on here that somebody had surgery by my surgeon just recently. . No biggie right? Wrong. I have been waiting for about 2.5 months for a surgery date after my approval. The office told me that he had to wait to coordinate with the new hospital. it was going on for too long so I looked into a different office.. I find out tonight this lady got approved about a month after me and just got surgery yet I'm being told he's not doing them yet...? So mad! Guess it's a sign, huh? I'm going to call Monday and ask them what's going on. This is ridiculous!

Are you doing the surgery with insurance or are you doing self-pay (answer not required)? If the other person is doing self-pay and you are doing insurance, more than likely the self-pay person will be put on the schedule before you as there are no hoops for them to jump through. They won't have to go through the insurance's requirements; for example the 6 month diet period, or having to lose so many pounds... This might be your answer.

No.. I was already done with everything and was approved early Jan. The dr said they were doing zero surgeries and had people waiting since Nov. I actually went back and read other posts by this lady and found she did the same thing as me...changed surgeons. She ended up not going to the surgeon after all probably for the same reason I just changed too.

      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.

        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.
