Fight, fight, fight and fight

Back story, sleeved in 2014. Everything went fine and lost 70 pounds. Starting having heartburn not bad. By year 5 severe GERD, gastritis, and medium hernia

Daily pain w/o meds. Insurance will not help. I have hope. However nothing is done until it is done. I understand clearly the medical community primarily does not view obesity as a disease. They are wrong.

It's sad seeing how I pay for my health insurance to keep me well.

Wow, this has been crazy. I love my sleeve. Now, I need a revision. After 7 months of having a repaired herna? I still need to be revised due to GERD and other issues. This will happen sometime by the end of 2021. Insurance sucks sometimes. However, I am happy to see some relief soon. Don't give up.
