Insurance & options reduced



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I've posted in the gastric sleeve section and have that listed as my surgery in my profile. How do I change that? The reason I ask is that I just found out that the sleeve isn't going to be an option for me due to my having mild reflux. Looks like bypass will be my only option that won't make that worse. Bypass, from what I've read, actually helps in most reflux cases.

So my question is two part: 1) How do I change my surgery in my profile to bypass, and 2) Have any of you been approved for bypass with reflux or GERD?

Oh, and I looked everywhere to see where I change my surgery in my profile and cannot at all seem to find out how I change that. Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Hi :) I'd like to know too how to edit profile. I'd like to add pic . but I'd also like to know if anyone had phc or php of California for insurance ? I would also like to know if anyone's had the gastric bypass if so do I have to diet before the surgery?

If you click on the triangle beside your name it will bring up a menu. You go to my surgery tab and you can change it there.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
