When I got my date, the call was from the surgeon's office. They gave the date, and the time I had to be at the hospital. The hospital called and I had to call them to talk to billing to see if there were any outstanding charges that my Blue Choice did not cover, as I had to pay them up front before surgery. Fortunately there were none. The surgeon's office changed my time, then I caught a cold and they postponed me a week giving me a new date and time. All this info came from the surgeon's office. I would call them and see if they can tell you.

You may need to call them and ask. My doctor's office is terrible at keeping me up to date and telling me things. So if I need something or have a question, I call them. I swear I call every other day/week. They know my voice now and as soon as I start to talk they are like, "Hi, Ty. Hold on." I might be a nag, but if I wasn't nothing would get done. Call and ask. It can't hurt.

Also, I have a question, does everyone have to pay up thier outstanding bills with the hospital before surgery? I owe them some money from my pre-op appointments, but was planning on paying it back little by little. Must I pay them up front or they won't do the surgery?

      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.

      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!
