Doctor Office Nightmare



Recommended Posts

Hey all

We all expect to fight for this surgery from an insurance standpoint right well how bout from the surgeons standpoint no way huh

Well this is what has happened to me my insurance company are actually being an advovate for me the doctors office politics are a nightmare they screwed up some paperwork and wont admit to it and one person is actually lying to.try to cover it up. We need trust in the surgeons office we choose and i have lost that trust with them. So i am going to.choose a new surgeon and start fresh soooo frustrating. So i have been battling this crap since march with this office. And i have become exhausted. At least the insurance company is on my side. They are filing a greivance with the dr office in question.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I hope you find another surgeon that is willing to work with you.

My first thought as I was reading was why are you not going to another doctor-LOL. Where are you from? please do your research for your next doctor, there is plenty of information on line. If you can't trust your doctor and his staff who can you trust???

      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!
