People making decision difficult



Recommended Posts

Jiggly jiggy just want to weigh,in. Might be a semi- stretch but if you had an EGD and you turned out to gave a hiatus hernia which. A lot of us Plump Princesses do, it could be billed to insurance as a hiatal hernia repair and your bypass would be a happy hidden benefit. My own case I'll quote: I had what is called a preaurical cyst, it's like a reoccurant boil that festers up from time to time -leaked pus, nasty[emoji21] little booger. When I had my surgery, since I had never had one and it was a good thing to check, I had an EGD done transnasally by my ENT, she forwarded a report on her findings to my PCP, but as far as insurance knew she only billed it as Cyst Removal and United Healthcare paid without a quibble. Sometimes you have to beat the verdompt insurance companies at their own game.[emoji13]

Thank you guys for all of your insight. I’ve been leaning towards the surgery, and having your help with advice makes it easier for me.

Fluffychix, I wasn’t looking for someone to make a decision for me at all. I wouldn’t put the blame on anyone for anything except myself. It really comes down to me. I was just looking for some guidance because I was getting confused on what was best for me. Coming here and hearing from people that are going through something similar helps a lot. Makes me think more clear. I spoke with my therapist about it and she’s totally on board with me going through with the surgery and told me to listen to myself and no one else. I’m honestly just easily persuaded. So when my friend that’s a trainer told me that I have the ability to do it without the surgery and giving me pep talks it got me confused and I just needed some advice.

I’m extremely grateful for all of the wonderful and helpful responses. Thank you guys.

Exercise can't do it all, diet can't do it all, I believe you need the surgery to complete the change in your life. And once you have that tool to work with, your goals will be met. It still will take hard work and the strenght to stick it out to the finish, but it is doable if you really try and try and try.😛

      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.

        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!
