Where are all the February surgeries?



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled for Feb 1. Preop starts Jan 25. Excited and nervous all at the same time. I don't have much support at home, so I'm hoping to find a local support group in S Florida

I'm waiting on approval for a 2/1 surgery date. Do u think constant calls help speed things along? I'll do it, but what do u ask them, if you case has been approved?

I'm waiting for everything to come together also. My healthcare team has told me to be ready by February 8, and that they are sure the insurance will be okay. I was told that this is common place in many cases, the ins company runs behind or drags their feet. Hope we all hear soon so we can put this niggling doubt to bed!!!????

My DS is scheduled for Feb 2. I've been on a general weight loss diet since September (put myself on it). The pre-op diet of liquids only is just 24 hours before surgery. Have a bunch of pre-op things to do tomorrow starting at 8am. It rained ice and snow for about two days here and our neighborhood has yet to be cleared. Hope I am able to make the appointments.

I'm in central Il area, and we got 4" snow only last week. It's starting to melt, but freezes at night. Good luck to you and be careful out there! I'm tired of winter and ready for spring. Snow might be pretty, but it also a pretty big mess and inconvenience!

      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!
