Happy and frustrated at the same time



Recommended Posts

Just got the call that I'm approved but the soonest I can have the surgery is April 13th. I'm happy for the approval but I am so ready to get on with this surgery. I have to move out of my apartment the following week and I have already extended my lease to that time because I expected 3/30 date. The surgeons office never submitted my paperwork to insurance after my appointment on 2/14 so when I followed up 2 weeks later insurance had no record of the submission. The dr's office person gave such a lame excuse I just tried to brush it off, but now I just want to cry... why am I crying??? This is way more stress than I need right now. I'm so emotional right now, I have other stuff going on too, just got the divorce papers in the mail plus life in general, but seriously I should just be happy right? Please tell me I should be happy! Writing this helped...I hope your journeys for this are quick, painless and life renewing[emoji6]...I hope the same for me too [emoji846]

My surgery was my moving day--it was stressful but it worked out. Enlist as many helpers as you can and make sure anything you immediately need is accessible because you are not going to feel like unpacking lol. good luck and congrats on the approval!!!

      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!
