I feel so selfish...



Recommended Posts

My info should be to sent to insurance sometime this week. It would of been last week but insurance coordinator was not in the office. Now she is playing catch up. I feel so bad because I am fussing to everyone about having to wait an extra few days to be submitted and many you guys and gals have to wait 3 months, 6 months, or even longer to complete your journeys and I just started mine on March 3rd of this year. I am very anxious about this whole ordeal. I want to get excited but I am afraid I am going to be denied. I meet all the qualifications and I have a whole laundry list of comorbidities. Is it normal to be anxious, nervous, and excited all at the same time? I wish everyone well.

I don't think your being selfish.

I think that you just want to get on with your surgery so you can begin a new stage in your life.

Being all those emotions that you are experiencing is normal.

Good luck to you.

It sounds like you're feeling exactly how I felt. When I actually schedule my surgery I thought "I'm not going to sleep for the next month" My neves calmed down as it go closer. I don't blame you for being a bit annoyed at the delay. My final appointment with my surgeon was on the 8th and the office didn't send my paper work until the 22nd. I was more than a little annoyed.

I think what you are feeling is normal. Take a deep breath and try to relax. You will do just fine.

      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!
