Scared I won't have a hernia. EGD on 16th



Recommended Posts

I have the EGD to see if I have a hernia on the 16th. I'm nervous that they will not find one and ny surgery will be cancelled due to cost.

And this pre-op diet is HARD!

I'm going through True Results in Richardson. Any one else going through the same process?

And this pre-op diet is HARD! YES it is...

If I do not have a hernia I can not afford to have the band placed. If I have a hernia the insurance paus for the repair amd the surgeey center. That brings the cost down to a level I can afford.

Fingers crossed for a hernia. How crazy does that sound.

It sounds weird but I understand! I was hoping my BMI was high enough before my evaluation (it was) so I ate whatever I wanted to maintain it. Sounds bad but in the long run the band will help me reduce my BMI...

HI I am north of Fort Worth, just thought I'd introduce myself to a fellow Texan. Glad you had the hernia. :) Good luck with getting banded.

My scope isn't until Sept. 30th.

It'll be here before you know it. It was super easy. No pain afterwards. Worst part was the meds in the IV burnt as it went in, but I was asleep so soon that it wasn't that bad.

Hi PlanoMom. That was the only way I could have my surgery. Hiatial hernia repair and then placed the lapband on. Easy as 1, 2, 3. Good luck.

      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!
