I'm just a ball of nervous wreck! I'm in my 6 month waiting, my insurance is due to be "redetermined" in March, the surgery scheduler I'm probably looking at April or May for surgery. I was told I just needed to see my surgeon one more time before surgery and the NUT from the hospital once it was scheduled. The surgery scheduler said "oh you still have to see the psych and the NUT AND have H&P with the surgeon. I told her I had already done everything but see the surgeon once more and that I was just waiting my 6 months time. I'm freakin out!! All the "what-ifs" are becoming a bit much!

That's great! I need 3 more months I'm on my 3rd month with the nut what about you? I'm nervous as well I know a few friends who have done this and they look great a few of them not too good because they got comfortable and gain 30-50 lbs back which I don't get you will do great it's a new beginning for us I can't wait have you lose any weight with the nut?

They're just prepping you I made the mistake of getting my ekg and the Doppler for my ankles done and now I have to redo it because certain tests is only good through 30 days. But don't get nervous it's parts of the retirements everything has to be cleared before surgery just to make sure your good it's aggravating I wish it was just as easy as going to a foreign country and paying to have this done but unfortunately with some insurances they require a lot of things and sometimes you have to redo them like in my case

      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!
