I got a message from the secretary on 1/10 letting me know she needed clearance for 2 more things.My psych eval(which was on friday and I was medically cleared)and then the results from my sleep study which is on 1/25 before she could schedule my surgery consultation.Well I got to thinking today what if I don't have sleep apnea which I feel I don't.However I emailed the doctor from there and she said it was determined I have mild sleep apnea and that we would go over exactly what that means when we meet next week as well as treatment for it.She also said to me that the Dr. office can call and find out that info so that it doesn't stall my surgery consultation being scheduled.Well with her saying that I now want to call the secretary and see if I can get an appointment for next friday to meet with the surgeon.I don't want it to seem like I'm being pushy but I'm anxious and I know I have some more waiting to do for insurance to approve me.I don't want to prolong the situation any more than it has to be.So my question is am I wrong if I want to call the secretary to see if she can schedule me for next friday to meet the surgeon? I don't want it to seem like I'm stepping on anyone's toes or being pushy

I'd give it a shot and just be very polite. You might also ask if they do a cancellation list or something if he is booked. I moved a few things around and my program was accommodating.

      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!
