Flexible Spending Account(Fsa)



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, me again, Hello Nurse.

Just another way to help all those such as myself who need to count their pennies!

FSA! It's the way to go

I get reimbursed for everything I pay for.

All medicines, all Doctor co pays, tests, lab work, Protein powders, if it's for treatment for Obesity, it qualifies. As long as Doctor writes a prescription for it. Even my $500 co pay for the surgery!! If you are able to sign up thru your employer, I suggest it. The maximum I can save is $2,500/ year. They take put a certain amount from each pay check( pre tax dollars) then put it an FSA account. I then fax in a claim with proof, and my money is reimbursed back to me via direct deposit. But you can also choose to get a check mailed to you!! I was able to pay for braces for myself and my youngest daughter this way! It's one of the ways Im able to get this surgery without going broke! Plus I use my Aflac policies to help me out while Im out of work.

Hope it helps someone!!

      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.

      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!
