I can't believe really how many people are having this surgery. One place I debated and kindly declined and said " our list is completely full and someone will be excited to take your place". Initially I felt it was a bit snarky, now I think she wasn't kidding!

Hi my name is Shawn (female). My paperwork was sent to the insurance company on Friday. I am hoping for a date in October. I have Achalasia so I have to have Heller Myotomy Surgery and the Sleeve done on the same day if all goes well with the Heller Myotomy. Prayers please! I am so hoping when I wakeup in the recovery room they tell me they did both surgeries. If they can't do both, they will do the Heller and I will go back in 6 to 8 weeks for the sleeve. I am very excited and can't wait to start this journey! Dr. Podkameni will be doing my surgery in Arizona. Hugs and blessing to all of you!

We are in the same boat. Ins papers out to insurance co. on Friday, now the waiting game. i wont call until next friday, being a nurse, I hate to pester. just have to be patient and hope for the best. The sooner the date, the better, but I know there is a 3-4 week wait with a 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I am starting a pre-pre-op diet tomorrow.

Thank you! Lots of luck to you.

Hey all it's around the corner October is OUR month!!! How's everyone feeling? Are we going to all post on this thread our post op experience? I'm anxious, excited, And of course scared:x

[buckeye_girl40 203]

hello everyone, can't believe how fast time is flying! I've got so many different emotions going on all at once...... one minute i'm scared and the next happy and excited!! I definitely plan on keeping my new family in the loop once I am post op... you guys have made this nerve wrecking process so much more bearable

[valdostaGA 149]

I'm having all kind of emotions guys!! I have so much other stuff going on right now. I have my endoscopy Tuesday. It will be here before we know it. I'm praying for everyone!!!

Yesterday i was having doubts, I'm just worried about waking up in excruciating pain that isn't easily controlled with pain meds. I have a high tolerance when it comes to pain but I still find myself getting nervous.

I have read sooo many posts and a very small number have said they had a lot of pain. Most said they had a general gassy discomfort, but most did not use up their pain meds. A doctor must manage pain adequately. Its their job. Generally, women have a higher pain tolerance (most, not all!) but you mentioned you've got a pretty decent pain tolerance, so I think you're gonna rock this thing! Some mentioned bringing liquid Tylenol (kids, I guess?) but always ask the surgeon before taking anything :-)Good luck, keep us posted :-)

October 23 with dr cheung in Boston! Very excited. A little nervous, not so much about the surgery but being able to take care I my 3 boys (4yr old twins and a 17 month old) as quickly as possible after. Had VERY quick recoveries after both my csections so hoping this will be the same! Great to see so many others!

Hello I'm 42 y/o from Philadelphia, PA. My surgery is scheduled for October 9th. I am anxious and nervous at the same time. I can't wait to see the new me... Woo Hoo! Good luck to all, I will keep you in prayer!

[JazzyJ 34]

I am counting down-30 days from today. I fell down some stairs last weekend and wrecked my knee-just another sign that I need to get this weight off. I am on crutches and am not able to exercise. I was starting to get in more exercise so that would be one less change I needed to make.
