Her surgery has been rescheduled for tomorrow. Her dr had an emergency surgery at another hospital. :(

If you were losing 1-2 pounds per day for " a couple of months", that would be around 60 pounds ?

Doctor who sees you for two visits in the same week and then says go away , you have no insurance?Something is not right?

Were you self-pay? If you paid everything up front, what was the aftercare supposed to be/cover?

Aftercare is so important.

Wouldn't you be considered an emergency surgery? If this is a blockage?

Doesn't this hospital have other surgeons?

I think there is something else going on in this very bizarre situation.

Call an attorney, even an ambulance chaser can handle this stupidity. Ask for a hospital advocate.

This is ludicrous!

Posting on behalf of my sister Krismo83! This whole situation is exactly that UNBELIEVABLE! Her drs washed their hands of her and told her to go to a county hospital because she has no insurance.

Update: My sister had her surgery this morning and is now in recovery. They removed the band.

To those of you who prayed for my sister I would like to say Thank you! Her band was removed this morning and the blockage is gone. She was able to keep down a cup if Water tonight and she said it was great to feel it go down.

To those of you who are doubting that what my sister has gone through is true or not. It is 100% true!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
