I Really Need Help!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello, my name is Lina....i had the lap band two yrs ago n since then i lost my job n insurance. That is how long its been since i had my band check out. I am on a fix income due to no job n been doing research on how to get an free adjustment or affordable adjustment for someone on a fix income and so far nothing came up. Im worried about my band cause when i wake up i feel like my stomach is in knots and i throw up sometimes, also i have not lost the weight i should have, due to no fill ins. It would release my heart to know everything is ok with my band n stomach....if anyone know of a doc in chicago that can help me out or any helpful information...please feel free to contact me via email or Facebook, you can put my email in facebook search to find me..... i dont been on this website as much....thanks so much, i REALLY appreciate it:)

Have you spoken to your dr about working out a payment plan? You went to all the trouble of getting the band and I am sure you have been at least losing something is 2 years... Maybe he would be sympathetic to your need...

Is there a non profit hospital near by? They may have a reduced cash payment prices.

      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!
