So today's my last appointment with the surgeon. I have completed everything, and paid for everything. Been calling the office and insurance every other day for the past two weeks. I called the insurance last week they said they have a date and it's the 27th of august which would be awesome but the office hasn't called to confirm that date. So I'm fearful that the date won't be the real date . I need to plan where my kids will be staying and who will be able to help me while I recover. Not being able to pick of my two year old is going to be hard along with good work and laundry. Very annoyed right now...sorry I just had to get that of my chest.

From my experience, the date that was submitted to my insurance company was not the actual date of my surgery. They had to place a date on the paperwork in order to submit. Then after the insurance company approved, I made contact with the surgeon's office and scheduled the "actual" date of the surgery.

Good luck to you, I hope you get a date soon!! ;)

Yes, that is annoying. Keep bugging the office. If they don't respond, don't bathe for a few days and work out in the yard a lot. Then go in. They will pay attention.

It worked for the "bathless bill colector" who once worked in England, showing up at doors in his green fog. He had a 100% success rate. :huh::D

Lick Nuchnuch said, the date submitted to my ins was just a random date. Likley if you have been approved you ill select your date at your visit today. That's how mine was done..

      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.

      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!
