Hi all! I am totally new to this. I just scheduled my consultation today. Its something I ve wanted to do for months, but had no idea how to pay for it. Im still not sure, but am exploring some options.

Anyway,

I am in Colorado. I did find an online support group for Colo people, but it was REALLY clickish. Noone even sent out a hello. So, here I am.

Any other Colorado people out there?

Hi, I live in Parker, CO. I am new to all of this too. I am still trying to get qualified. I have Kaiser insurance and they make you go through all of this stuff just to qualify. Anyways, nice to meet you.

Hey Char--what part of Colorado are you in? I am in Pueblo. I've been banded for 6 1/2 months, and absolutely love it! I hope you can find a way to finance your surgery--it will change your life! There are lots of finance companies that specialize in financing for this particular surgery, and will finance pretty much anyone, so good luck. Welcome to the boards!

Thank you Robin, and welcome to you as well. Do you have a doc picked out?

Char

Since the surgery will be through Kaiser and they have their own physicians, I am not sure who does the surgery. That is one of the questions I have written down to ask.

Wow, Drewslou! You are doing great, girl! Thanks for the welcome. I am really bummed right now because my loan payments will be $260 and my hubby said no. I am desperately trying to find another financial option, but I WILL NOT give up. I really need this, and want it more than anything.

Anyway, thanks to all for the warm welcome!

Welcome!! Sorry the Colo welcome was less that warm. I'm on that board, too. Have you thought about:

home equity loan

credit card

going to Mexico

?

I went to Mexico. Wonderful experience, nothing to worry about at all. Ask any questions you have! We are here to help! I don't cruise over to this forum that often but you can PM me!

      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!
