Approved but switched drs



Recommended Posts

So i started my journey in august. I went thru my psychiatric evaluation and nutritionist appointment (my insurance only required the one) but due to the hospital being 3 hours away i switched and am seeking another hospital to go to. Well today i received a letter that i was approved for surgery October 20th. Anyways now im pretty bummed. Could have had surgery sooner. But there is no way id realistically be able to travel so far on such a short notice. Also, has anyone had surgery at clovis (california) community hospital? Thats probably where i am going to go now.

I'm going through ALSA in Fresno, CA and I will go to Fresno heart and surgery center, but Clovis community is a really nice hospital, I've only been to the er and maternity ward though...

@ i was going to use them. But when i went to a seminar and initial consultations with a surgeon were already into January. Hopefully clovis community is a bit quicker.

Lol yes! I tried to make the initial consult in June and my appt wasn't until mid August.... Now I'm just waiting on the egd appt which isn't until nov 25... Lol figures that would be my luck, to have another appt that takes 3 months!! I'm ready, I just have to be patient..✌

      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?
