I got my first date



Recommended Posts

:unsure: I went to the seminar August 13th, mailed in my application on the 14th. I called on Thursday the 21st and was told that the Surgeon's Office Assistant was on vacation and would be back on 25th and I should hear from the surgeon's office this week. So, I called again today, because I am a pain, and left a message and about 3 hours later....

The dietician called me to make an appointment! WoOOOHoooo. I have already seen my PCP and she approved all the services and my Insurance...what a joke, all they want is my PCP to say that I need it and an approval letter of medical necessity by the surgeon!:cursing:

Let's just hope it is a easy as it seems!:huh2:

Congrats!!! I'm not that far from you, in Biddeford. I'm going to same surgeon and was at the same seminar :-) ! That's great you have an appt. already. I went in Monday to get lab work done. Because I'm a former smoker, they had me get labs done to make sure I really did quit. I should have those results tomorrow or Friday and then I'll be able to move on. When's your appt. for the dietician. We should keep in touch since we're pretty much on the same road together. My e-mail is THunt9906@hotmail.com if you'd rather e-mail. I'm glad someone else here in Maine is going to be going through everything I will be and will know what I'm talking about.

I'm going to try to make it depending on the schedule with my daughters cheerleading. If I don't make it tonight I def. will on the next one. I better get back to work. I'm so glad we're talking, it's a relief.

      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.

        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!
