No kidding. My insurance company has a rider on it that it will not pay for any weight loss procedures. Ok but they will pay for all the health crisis' that come from being overweight. ?????

Thank you all so much. It was the insurance. First, they denied bc I didn't have every weight listed from every dr visit from the past 3 yrs. So I got them. Then they said obesity is pre-existing so they won't cover. Even though I've never been treated for it. Finally, when the year was up and everything was resubmitted they said I had no comorbidities. Which I have 2. Resent all that and wa-la, they approved. My surgeons office is amazing. They are Dr. Turton & staff in Lagrange, Ga.

      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'. ???

        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!
