I am self-pay at the Kane Surgical Center in Illinois. It is certainly possible there.

My self-pay surgery is $18,000, which includes 2 nights in the hospital. I considered going to Mexico to save money. I do trust the surgeons in Mexico. But I personally decided to have surgery locally in Illinois for easier aftercare. But again, I would have no problem with the quality of the surgery in Mexico. The challenge is that I could not locate a surgeon in Illinois who would provide follow-up care in case of complications. If there are complications, going back and forth to Mexico could prove burdensome. Plus, my surgeon advised me that I should not fly for six weeks after the surgery in order to prevent blood clots. Of course, after surgery in Mexico, I would have to fly to Chicago. Again, my decision to pay more in Illinois is not based on quality issues.

      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.

        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!
