Her surgery has been rescheduled for tomorrow. Her dr had an emergency surgery at another hospital. :(

If you were losing 1-2 pounds per day for " a couple of months", that would be around 60 pounds ?

Doctor who sees you for two visits in the same week and then says go away , you have no insurance?Something is not right?

Were you self-pay? If you paid everything up front, what was the aftercare supposed to be/cover?

Aftercare is so important.

Wouldn't you be considered an emergency surgery? If this is a blockage?

Doesn't this hospital have other surgeons?

I think there is something else going on in this very bizarre situation.

Call an attorney, even an ambulance chaser can handle this stupidity. Ask for a hospital advocate.

This is ludicrous!

Posting on behalf of my sister Krismo83! This whole situation is exactly that UNBELIEVABLE! Her drs washed their hands of her and told her to go to a county hospital because she has no insurance.

Update: My sister had her surgery this morning and is now in recovery. They removed the band.

To those of you who prayed for my sister I would like to say Thank you! Her band was removed this morning and the blockage is gone. She was able to keep down a cup if Water tonight and she said it was great to feel it go down.

To those of you who are doubting that what my sister has gone through is true or not. It is 100% true!

      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!
