Frustrated Urhhh ... Venting..



Recommended Posts

So i'm waiting for my surgeons office to submit my paper work to medicare for approval so I can get my surgery date and the lady keeps telling me she doesn't have a submitting date from medicare!! sooooo I call medicare and they state that she could have submitted the day it was approved which was June 28, 2012.. so I ask myself WTF is going on here!!.. i'm sooooo freaking frustrated cause I told the surgeon that I needed surgery before the summer was over because the kids go back to school and it is harder for me to deal with!! that's why I started Allllll this in April!! i'm sooooo mad right now!! well thanks for Letting me vent..

Uhm, I dealt with the same type thing! I was told I would be able to have my surgery by the last week in June, but the whole paperwork/submitting stuff/communication between doctors really slowed things down! I started this process in November of '11. I literally had to call doctors offices everyday for three weeks to get things done! I feel your pain!

My surgery is a week from today, so now it feels totally worth it!

Its frustrating cause I called with all the information I received from the lady of Medicare and the drs secretary annoyingly tells me she will follow protocol and wait for the submitting date from CMS.. Its sooo frustrating..

      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!
