Any April's out there?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just got my date of 4/9. I've been going through the process for quite a while and it feels good to have everything taken care of. My doc wants me to go on 2 weeks of liquid before the surgery, so I'm trying not to get carried away with eating these next few weeks.

I've been reading this forum for 4 or 5 months now and it has been very reassuring to hear from people who have gone through the same process. I'm sure as I get closer I'll be bombarding the boards with questions!

I've head good things about Dr. Floch. He was my first choice, but he didn't take my insurance. I am going with Dr. Roberts out of Yale New Haven hospital. I am just waiting for insurance approval which they said should only take about 1 week. I am hoping for a May 1st surgery date.

Good luck to you!!

Hi. I'm hoping for an April date. I finished all the testing a couple of weeks ago, and it's all in the hands of insurance now. I hope, hope, hope they come through soon with an approval. My fingers are crossed.

I'm hoping insurance will approve shortly so we can schedule in April.....Lynne...I noticed in your signature you went back & forth w/UHC to get approved. What sort of run around was UHC giving you? I have UHC.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
