5'2, 234lbs, I havent set a date cant afford the hospital fees at River Oaks, they dont offer a payment plan at all. I was trying to have it done right before Thanksgiving, so I can take the rest of the year to recover.

My insurance required me to pay the hospital stay. It was $150. per nights and I stayed 2 nights. What is your insurance requiring?i had to pay it the day of surgery but I pad mine when I went to pre register.

That's good info. Why do they have me doing everything at CMmc I love baptist

I had to do my EGD at CMMC only because at that time I chose it. I knew Dr. Cummins was leaving River Oaks so I didn't mind. I did some prep blood at river oaks. I did my ABG and PFT at work, my PCP did my EKG and Chest X-ray in his office. Yes I was the 1st one at Baptist and they did so well. You have that option to go there. When is your surgery date?

Wow my insurance paid all but about $500.00. Yes call and ask to speak with DeeDee. She is the surgery coordinator and is awesome with everything. If she is busy say asked to be transferred to her vmail. She will be able to answer all your questions. That way you can see if Baptist is less expensive.

      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!
