I was able to get on a back up list for when people cancel or reschedule. I have completed everything so I am just waiting for a date which the wait is between 5 - 6 months after approval. But if this speeds it up, I am all for it!! I can be there in 1hour. LOL I don't even need a change of clothes!! Just kidding... but so serious!! They said it is at least a week notice!! I told her all I need in 20 mins to get someone to pick the kids up and to let my job know. LOL Good Luck to everyone still waiting... its so hard!! :unsure:

5-6 months wait for a surgery date? wow...your surgeon must be incredibly busy...I think with my surgeon it's only about a 2-week wait once all approvals are done...best wishes to you

      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!
