im meeting with my new surgeon on oct 30 and have a surgery date



Recommended Posts

i got a call today with an appointment date for oct 30 with the surgeon, this will me be with a different surgeon than the first one i had gone to. my first surgeon has talked to this surgeon and explained everything and she said that she would do surgery on me and gave me a date of nov 19th. i am surprised that i have a date without even meeting with the surgeon but seeming how the two surgeons have talked about my case she must be comfortable with it. i just hope that her and i click and i feel comfortable with her because if not ill have to travel a ways to see someone else and possibly do a different program all together. so wish me luck and ill keep you all posted.

i just found out that my husband is switching jobs in two weeks which means that i will lose health insurance. so now i wont have coverage for the surgery. the only hope i have is getting cobra but i dont know if i can get it and how much it will cost. i dont know what to do

Andrea,

I'm no insurance expert but as long as you pay your COBRA you will be fine, your coverage should continue without any interuptions or changes. My husband quit his job the same day I found out I was pregnant (surprise!), we kept up the COBRA payments and everything was covered just like we never changed jobs. The most important part is not to let there be even 1 day of lapse of coverage cuz the insurance company will dive into that loophole! Good luck!

      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.

      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!
