Hiatal hernia repair during sleeve
CanadaLoser replied to ebella's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So do you then have 5 holes or 6 if you have a hernia repaired at the same time? -
Great question, thanks for asking! I am B12 deficient and anemic so I'm worried about how this will impact me after surgery as I already take quite a bit of both just trying to get my levels up

Claiming costs on your tax return
CanadaLoser posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hello fellow Canadians, Has anyone had their surgery in a previous tax year and claimed the expenses on your tax return? Can you share any information on how this worked and if the benefit back was reasonable (without sharing any personal details of course)? Thanks! -

Hi Lisa, how did everything go? I am considering Dr Lopez as well. -
VIDA Hospital Tijuana Dr. Alejandro Lopez, ANYONE use this place/Dr.?
CanadaLoser replied to mdlange's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
I think I will be going with him in Tijuana. I spoke with someone tonight who previously used him and had a fantastic experience. Raved about how clean the hospital was, how well taken care of she was and how she had absolutely now issues and was back to work in less then a week. I think that made my mind up for me ....I had been debating a few different doctors before tonight. -
An egd test will tell you if you have one. Your insurance will pay for that surgery which will make the WLS much cheaper because they do both at the same time. I am in Canada and we have a very different system so unfortunately that won't apply to me

@@NikkiDoc - Thank you as well. If you don't have GERD, is there an easy way to have one? Or do you just tell them to fix it while they are in there and there happens to be one?

Hello (so many questions from me! *blush*) I have been anemic for years. B12 deficient too. My Drs feel it's pernicious anemia. Was anyone else this way before a bypass surgery? I know Iron can be an issue after so that worries me.

Pre Op and battling anemia
CanadaLoser replied to CanadaLoser's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
@@Sajijoma and @@Miss Mac - great info, thank you! I eat spinach like crazy and take 3-4x the regular dose of an Iron supplement as well as 2000mgs a day of B12. Both are still very low but slowly inching up. -
Pre Op and battling anemia
CanadaLoser replied to CanadaLoser's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Sorry, I should have provided more information to clarify. I have seen numerous specialists over the last few years, none of which can provide answers regarding why I have anemia and low B12 despite the fact I have been supplementing both for years. My question is if anyone else already had these issues prior to surgery and how they were handled. Thanks! -
Thank you!!

Travel a few months following surgery
CanadaLoser replied to CanadaLoser's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
That might be the worst part for sure. My husband will be able to eat all the yummy foods and I won't! I really don't want to wait until July to have the surgery though. I'd like to get started on the "new me" sooner! -
