I had my visit yesterday and I've lost 13 lbs 12 days past surgery which is nice.

My surgeon was thrilled but he said don't even think "fill" until 4-6 weeks post op.

But I have no time to Celebrate.< /p>

It seem like every time something good happens in our lives something bad has to come and F it up.

My wife got laid off. :o :o

We lost our insurance and I don't have insurance in what I do so we're pretty ****ed! :angry: :angry:

We're both pretty down. :( :(

My doc gives lifetime fills with his surgeries. I've never paid for one and I've been back 8 times. Check with him and see?

BTW-My wife was laid off a year ago but made lemonade from lemons and is now self employed and doing well. There's a silver lining hiding somewhere for her.

Thank you.

It runs out at the end of the month but her Cobra is totally cost prohibitive.

$2200.00 per month which is outrageous.

Good Job on the weight loss. You should call the dr and tell him about your situation. Maybe he will give you a fill. Good luck.

The Silver lining is you have had the surgery. You probably have some fills included. Check with your doctor and keep up the good work!

Thanks for the support. I'm not worried about fills with my surgeon.

We've paid enough that I believe we're good there.

It's other meds specially for my wife which are very expensive.

We'll do something I'm sure, it will get better.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
