OH thank God it was resolved in time!

And just as an aside to the person criticizing and advocating self-pay -- if she HAS insurance, Bariatric surgery is a covered benefit, and she and her employer are paying in weekly on premiums, why shouldn't she expect to use that insurance and be upset that she was denied due to someone's dropping the ball on a technicality at the last minute?

I'd be hysterical!

And, we have been there. We had horrible (catastrophic) insurance the past two years; make too much to get help, don't make enough with two toddlers and bills to do anything but survive, and had to pay OOP thousands in medical gear for our daughter.

Yes, you can want it bad and self-pay -- if you have someone to watch your kids, run your household, and fill in for your missing income. Any discretionary income we have goes on helping our daughter. We're on the back-burner until she's taken care of.

Not everyone is in a position to do what you are advocating, and it doesn't mean they don't want it bad enough.

      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!
