I'm a little discouraged. I was denied for my bypass due to not having a comorbidity. I was tested sleep apnea, (PCP wanted the test done) and I have it. Contacted the insurance coordinator at dr. Swain's office twice via email and got no response....a part of me just wants to start all

Over with a different dr...opinions?

What insurance do you have I'm going through banner gateway weightloss but they also partner with banner estrella depending on what's closer to you and they've been amazing so far I started my first consultation at the end of February and I was approved by insurance last week my pre op appointment is tomorrow

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
