Nope. Mine was a 1/2 hour conversation about my eating habits, weight history, willingness to follow doctor's orders, and my motivation for getting the surgery. This was at a major university teaching hospital in the big city.

Mine was only about 35 min also. 3 hours is crazy! I'd call your doctors office and ask about that. Doesn't sound right

That is awesome! I have step 2 done. I started medically supervised weight loss on March 2nd. I have to do it for 6 months. That's ok, I figured I would have to. That makes the 6 month mark in September when I turn 55. Happy birthday to me. You and I got this!

For mine, I had to do two visits also. The first was only about 30 minutes or so of reviewing my life and history. The 2nd was a couple of hours of answering about 500 questions on the computer.

      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.

        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!
