I feel SO blessed, if I tell you what my surgery is costing me I'm afraid you would all hate me! I have it done Monday and can hardly wait. Finished all the precert stuff today and paid the hospital up front ALL $50 of my out of pocket expense. Whoops... please don't hate me. I am so proud of you all figuring out ways to pay for yours. If I had to self pay I would never be able to. I work at the hospital and have their insurance and one of the benefits for employees is maximum expense of $50. I thank GOD everyday. My son want to have the surgery also and his insurance won't pay, so for right now we are just trying to save enough to get it done someday.

well at first my surgery was going to be paid for by cleaning houses . ( I am self pay ) I picked up 6 houses really quickly. We own our own concrete company and my husband picked up this ridicoulous job that is paying VERY WELL . the profits from that job along are going to pay for my surgery .

So once i found out about that i quit cleaning houses LOL

Now im just waiting for this job to finish which should be next week barring no more weather delays.

Im looking at surgery now the middle of Feb. It was suppose to get done this week actually but the job is delayed. Everyone else put in what their surgery cost , after reading more i guess i will too . LOL total with pre op testing ( I have no health insurance) its going to be right around $13,000 in the USA in Texas

So here's hoping

I am paying for my surgery with a 401 K loan. At least I will be paying myself the interest. My surgery will be Jan 31 in Houston. The cost is 13,000.00 and I am convinced that it will be worth every penny. I consider myself very lucky that I can afford to do this on my own. It's shame that we have to put a price on our health.

      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!
