I went to my third dietician appt last week and they set my surgery date for July 25. I'm glad they went ahead and set it so I can plan everything. Im not sure why they picked that appt though. I never asked. They set up all the rest of my dietician appts and my final appt before surgery also.

@@Harsha What insurance do you have?

I have UMR/UHC, my surgeons office submitted Monday morning and I haven't heard anything. Called and left a message for my case manager at UHC today.

I have BCBS. I'm kind of bummed because I just called my surgeons office and they said my insurance won't count my first appointment with my surgeon as one of my visits, it's six visits with my general doctor :/ So that adds one more month on to me, making this my 5th visit tomorrow. :(

I've finished all my pre-ops, just waiting for my PCP to send my paperwork to the surgeon so they can submit. So much waiting and phone calls with no one calling back. Going on 3 weeks and counting..

I'm like you. Three weeks and no communication. Come on!!!

We have UMR so I'm not sure how "quick" they are to get things approved. I have everything turned in checked a cpl days ago now just a visit next week n last 1 in May n ready to go! I wish I could get a date early however I don't think the hospital I go to does that or the dr anyway. Thank you @@Momwith3minions

I had my 5th visit Friday and counting down the days until my last visit May 13th! Three weeks of waiting with no communication after jumping through all the hoops must be soooo frustrating. My only advice is to blow them up every day and be super annoying. Lol

      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!
