I know how you feel. I've given up hope today. I don't have insurance and am self pay. So long story short, I got denied credit and have no hope. I feel like I

Dying inside and it hurts badly. I really thought family would help me but nobody has good enough credit, trust me, I've tried. I don't have much money saved because I am the only person working in my household. This just really really sucks!

My insurance doesn't cover it. So I am off to Mexico. I am scheduled for July because I have to save the money for it. It seems really far away but it will come soon and I am working my A$$ off to save it. Lol.

It's a life changing operation. And I know all this suffering and working extra hours and being super extra poor for a few months will be sooo worth it when the date gets here.

I heard that some drs. Down there have payment options and maybe in the states as well but in mexico like dr. Kelly has some type of in house financing and dr Almanza ( the one I am going to) has layaway. Lol. I thought that one was funny when I first heard it but hey it's working for me.

Anyways keep trying and I am sure u will find something that works for u. :-)

      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.

      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!
