I was sleeved last may and have a large abdominal hernia that I need repaired. My insurance won't cover the tt. I have heard that you can't go back and get a tt after getting a hernia repair- is this true?

Deciding On Surgery...does Anyone Regret Having The Vsg?
luvrkb replied to ladyhummingbird's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I also posted this thread 5 months ago.... I am now 4 months post op and have lost 60#. From size XXL to M and size 18 pants to 10!!!! It is major surgery and I did get a bacteria infection after the surgery, but was all better after antibiotics. I would do it again in a heartbeat. -
I had horrible headaches for 2 days straight too. Normal with the detox. If u cheat, then you have to detox again.
-
The reason you feel so crappy is bc you are going through sugar withdrawal. It is better to do it now than after when u r healing. Stick with it.

Is this ok?.... 9 weeks post op. i have been having fake diarhea. I feel that "oh ****, I got to go now" feeling. When I sit, I get terrible diarhea cramps, but little or nothing comes out. This was a few times/ day for a couple days. Then I had yellow mucus come out in a big clump. This happened twice yesterday. Was like nose boogers. I tried miralax, still nothing. I see the doc tmrw but has anyone else had this?
-
Doc said normal and to continue with miralax.

Ct scan? I had to have an ultrasound. There were spots on my liver so I had to have a MRI done.

Nervous About Insurance Approval..help!
luvrkb replied to marzee0728's topic in Insurance & Financing
My insurance just needed the surgeon to say in his report how long I have been struggling. Don't worry. The surgeons office knows all of the insurance 'tricks'. -
What are your favorite protein bars?

Thanks all!

Hope to see you there! -
My docs office used barriatric advantage. It was $50 for 1 bag. It was 1 bag per week. I didnt have to use it, but they couldn't guarantee any other one was the right combo. So I did get the bag.
