I called and left a message Monday and I told my boss Monday that I was approved. Now my boss is fretting me for a date and its getting me worked up. We are in the middle of a HUGE project and he has to go to the board to get resources and since I know I am approved, he is trying to work my absence in to the numbers.

PRESSURE! Bah!

All I want is a date, this bank will live with out me. How long till they called you back with a date????

Well I was lucky...because I walked into his office with all my tests results and insurance approval already been handed to him, so I went straight to lady that sets the dates. It was 3 weeks out I think. Angie could probally chime in more accuratly or Jttauras.

I can't help much, since I was self-pay, but I don't think it should take very long. I do know that last summer when I did finally get "the call" that they had a date for me, it was for a month or so in advance. I know I'm not much help in answering your question, but I am hoping that you'll get your date any day now!

Rewind to last August/september I made almost the exact same statement! LOL It was when I went to get my results and hopefully get to schedule a date that I was told that Dr. V was leaving the surgerical group and would be unable to do my surgery. At least you know that the doctor isn't going anywhere LOL.

      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!
