PlanoMom 6 Posted July 14, 2013 I have the EGD to see if I have a hernia on the 16th. I'm nervous that they will not find one and ny surgery will be cancelled due to cost. And this pre-op diet is HARD! I'm going through True Results in Richardson. Any one else going through the same process? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JACKIEO85 308 Posted July 14, 2013 I have the EGD to see if I have a hernia on the 16th. I'm nervous that they will not find one and ny surgery will be cancelled due to cost I'm confused? Why would they cancel your surgery ? If they find a H.Hernia allot of times they just repair it while doing the band. And this pre-op diet is HARD! YES it is...

PlanoMom 6 Posted July 14, 2013 If I do not have a hernia I can not afford to have the band placed. If I have a hernia the insurance paus for the repair amd the surgeey center. That brings the cost down to a level I can afford. Fingers crossed for a hernia. How crazy does that sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ADDrienne 15 Posted July 14, 2013 It sounds weird but I understand! I was hoping my BMI was high enough before my evaluation (it was) so I ate whatever I wanted to maintain it. Sounds bad but in the long run the band will help me reduce my BMI... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PlanoMom 6 Posted July 16, 2013 My scope isn't until Sept. 30th. It'll be here before you know it. It was super easy. No pain afterwards. Worst part was the meds in the IV burnt as it went in, but I was asleep so soon that it wasn't that bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
