I just received an EOB from my insurance stating they paid for hernia repair. Only one problem - I PAID CASH!!! As well as never signed or was told I was having hernia repair. So confused- what do you guys think??

Back from surgery...FOrest Park Med Center
Rachel140 replied to zephra's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was VERY nauseated after surgry- it was horrible!!!!! I was on a drip for it as well as under the tounge medication, I did stay a second night because of it- Amazing, but once I was home I felt fine. No drain, no cath, only 6 incisions in which all but one is now healed and almost undetectable. Iv lost 15 pounds so far- I feel great! Dr. Davidson is great, love his staff. -

Anyone used Dr Wade Barker in Dallas???
Rachel140 replied to lovemyboys's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dr. Davidson out of presby Dallas did mine, but at the new forest park medical center. Wow! What a wonderful facility and staff! His bedside manor leaves much to be desired but he is good- as well as busy, but I did not feel that from him or his staff over the other billboard surgeons -I'm sure all very qualified as well. -
So two days out from my sleeve- a little more than I bargained for beings that iv never even had a stitch in my life. Night one I had alot of nausea and hiccups- of the devil! I'm thinking if you ask me next week I'd say I would do it again.

Too drastic a step for BMI of 31?
Rachel140 replied to Eyemallrt's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My BMI is also 31, my date is July 13th. Much like you I have back pain, lack of energy ect- my biggest reason for doing the Sleeve is because I don't want to be fat anymore! No shame in it!! Iv tried more diets than I choose to type, some even put my life in danger! This is my fix- my tool to help my future be all it can be. I as well am not telling my peers. Mom, dad, and husband know- I am going to try to keep it that way! -

Hey guys! Anyone start this at 200 and 5'6? I'm wonder about how much I will lose and how long it should take! Also, I'm wondering about extra skin, was it a problem?

Hello for the first time!! I'm totally pumped to be sleeved in just two weeks! Everything is in order and ready to go- exept for letting my friends and family in on what I'm doing with the exception of my husband and mother. I'm just not sure what to say! I'm 200 and 5'6", to them I look ok. I feel MUCH different. Any advice?
-
I love this. Thanx!

Thanks Kelly, you advice is great!
