Didn't you have some medical care on your way back home? How was that covered?

I had issues with my heart acting up again in Denver. It was covered by my medical insurance I have with my employer.

It was not treated as WLS related as it is a well documented issue that predated my WLS.

Although with the weight loss my heart is behaving just fine.

I'm guessing your concern is regarding your insurance not covering WLS related medical claims postop?

I knew going in they wouldn't cover WLS med claims postop. I decided the benefits outweighed the "what if" risks for me. I had comorbidities and topped out over 400 lbs.

Only you know what the best decision is for you short term and long term.

Hey all. The year is coming to a close and my insurance deductible has been met. I hope to schedule the recommended endoscopy before the year is over for a Sleeve looksee.

I will share the results.

Also, down 117 lbs, and in my first "known" stall.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
