Seriously thinking of canceling rny . My surgeons office said that I could get complication insurance when I first was quoted fees. I got a call friday saying that they made a mistake and said revisions were not eligible. If any major complications that occur will be out of my pocket. This could ruin me financially.

They might still. cover it if your surgeon states you have a health condition or health decline that mandates it. Like if your GERD has given you Barretts Esophagitis, an Esophageal cancer precursor. Don't wish THAT on you, my Cousin June-Ellen died of that on the table at Cleveland Clinic, 2 years ago and I still miss her like it was, Yesterday😪💦😪

Can you postpone to think about it more instead of canceling ? To talk it over with the surgeon, your family and then decide?

Chances are if you cancel now because of this without really thinking it through, you'll be at this same point 2 years later wishing you did it, especially if you need it being a revision.

Don't live in the land of Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda too long. I hem-hawed for years, listened to everybody tell me for a multitude of reasons why I wouldn't be a success. Almost left it TOO LONG, now atv72 I am facing my own surgery. Oh yes. I will heal, but for me it will be a long drawn- out affair. I wish I had the sense to do it at your age, when I was YOUNG.😪💦😪

      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.

      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!
