Trying not to get frustrated



Recommended Posts

My insurance finally approved me on 10/23 but my doctor can't see me for 6 more weeks (11/17) which he requires before scheduling the surgery. My daughter wants to be there and stay with me for the surgery and the first week but just started a new job. There is only one week 12/11-12/15 that she is able to come so I am hoping so bad to be able to get done that week. I understand there is a process and I am typically really good about these things but it is just so important to me that my daughter be there. She lives almost 3 hours away so it won't be easy for her to come back and forth. I tried to get them to schedule my surgery and then I would still have my appointment on 11/17 but they won't do that. As of yesterday that time frame was available but they said it may be possible with all of the upcoming appointments that it may book up. Deep breath. It will happen as it's meant to happen. Have to relax and hope for the best.

Ask to be put on a list for cancellations - like if someone cancels an appt and you can go on short notice. Good luck.

They said they don't keep a cancellation list. It's up to me to check in to see if anything changes. Thanks though.

      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.

      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!
