Recommended Posts

Went to the meeting with DR wasco at the theyda clark medical center, on

Tueday for three hours. there are many hoops that a person has to go through.

such as seeing a Mental health provider. six mounths of recorded weight loss

by you own Doctor or dietitian .proof of recorded weight loss failure.

then come's fighting with your insurence company who hate there jobs,

who are just there to get a pay check! You call your insurence with the proceddure code and they tell you that your Doctor office has to call

but when you are starting this Quest to save your life you don't have a doctor

yet! there should be more helpful, My insurence company pay's for every thing

else except adjustable lap band. Im going to fight them on this through the insurence commission of Wi.

well every one take care most of all God bless you all. and chew your food good.

Hi JQ!

Sadly, you are right about the ones that are just there to get a paycheck... to those you are just a number, not an individual ;).

Good luck on trying to fight the ins to pay for this. Keep us posted on the outcome!

      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!
