Recommended Posts

I'm in that same boat right now. It has been one week, one day since my decision visit with the surgeon. All my pre ops are finished. As soon as insurance clears, I can get my date!! Good luck to you. Hope we both get cleared soon!

I don't do my pre op testing at the hospital till after my insurance approves....but I got all 6 of my classes done and all my labs done! What all do you do in the pre op testing? Keep your fingers cross for a quick date! ;-)

What classes did you have to take? Every surgeon requires something different. I had 4 sessions with a nutrition psychologist, 2 meetings with a nutritionist, lots of lab work, AbG, urine screening, ultra sound, barium swallow, EKG, an informational session at the surgeons office, and a consult with the anesthetist. All before insurance clearance. I am even registered at the hospital already. Hoping to hear from insurance company this week!

      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!
