So I have all my appointments set! What Next?

I went to the seminar November 13th

I met the surgeon November 17th

Got my blood work done November 17th

UGI and Psychological November 28th

1 class on December 5th

1 class December 8th and Nutrition December 8th

finale class December 13th

and I'm waiting to schedule EGD....

This is all my insurance required so I'm guessing after this my doctor can submit everything for approval? What was your requirements? how long was your process?

BTW I have NJ BCBS PPO , My Surgeon is Dr. Jooyeun Chung. I'm just trying to time this out so I can have the surgery in January....

      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!
