I had my sleeve done about 10:00 this mirning. Came out of recovery feeling pretty good. Been walking the halls and following doc's orders then all of a sudden tonight I have pain in my chest. The nurses say it is gas but I can't even lay down! Trying to burp but that's not working.Any suggestions?

Self pay and hiatal hernia
LaLa K replied to AtlantaRed's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
From what I understand if they find a hernia it MUST be repaired in order to do the sleeve. I just happened to know I have one from an endoscopy done 5 or 6 years ago. Clear liquids for me tomorrow and I am so ready for Thursday!! Good luck to you!! -

They are going to take your cash ASAP!! The hernia repair should be included but my doctor is billing insurance for a little time, anesthesia, etc to get some money from them for the hernia repair. -

I too have a hernia and I am self pay. My surgery is day after tomorrow and my hernia will be prepared at this time. My surgeon is charging me the cash price for sleeve surgery and billing my insurance for the hernia repair which will be paid in full by my insurance. Even though they are being done at the same time it is billed like a separate procedure. Hope this helps you some! -
Good luck! Thursday is my special day. Nervous but excited!
