Recommended Posts

Ok so I am sitting here with a BIG hunk of birthday cake and fixen to eat it.. please stop me... so I called my dr. today and asked if they got the approval letter from my ins. they said yes, I asked again are they sure I can get my surgery in june. She said well your hospital is now sheduling in july. SO JUNE IS OUT!!!! dammit... :angry

I am so tired, tired of this run around BS

tired of my knees hurting, tired of hating the way I look, (I am guessing this cake is not helping) tired OF WAITING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:

I am sorry to be such a whiner, I just feel like I am never going to get the band...

(I talked so much the cake is gone, guess it's to late to stop me..Somebody please sew my mouth shut:speechles :speechles :speechles :speechles :speechles )

I know how you feel and your not alone. I too am in the fight of my life with Anthem BCBS. I've waited for 2 weeks just to find out if they'll cover me or not and all they can say is they don't know. I finally got enough and called Dr. Sanchez's office and got an appointment in Mexico for July21st. I'm all excited then, my daughter who is a Physician's Assistant had a cow. No, your not going to Mexico, just go on the 6 month diet that your insurance company wants you to go on and then maybe they'll cover. I'm so tired of maybe's and if's and but's. It's aggravating isn't it? Then when you think you've got it worked out, someone burst your bubble.

Just keep up the faith and it will happen. I know it seems like it won't now but it will. We've just got to grab down deep inside and hold on for this roller coaster ride. Just take a few minutes and calm down and don't worry about that cake. Once you get banded your appetite will diminish and life will get better, I promise.

I understand your frustration, SherriJo. But if you go to Mexico, just be sure, sure, sure to have your aftercare docs and fill docs lined up first. I can't think of anything worse that having a problem and need a doctor NOW and can't find anyone to treat you. ;)

We could never afford this out of pocket! I am a full time nursing student and we are making it paycheck to paycheck. So I will just have to wait:cry Thanks guys for the support! I just want to cry, I am just praying I get a july appointment because I start back to school in aug.

      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!
