Betty,

So glad for you!

I am now trying to get in to see Dr. Provost as well. So I will try to keep in touch with you.

Just as I got everything in to Dr. Richard Carter in Arlington, received letter that he is no longer accepting BC/BS. They said that my insurance co. would pay the hospital fee, just not Dr. Carter. I was told that I could pay him $6,000.00 in cash and get it done. No thanks, I would go to Mexico 1st before I give him any cash.

Funny thing, insurance company can find everything I sent them, but nothing from the Docs office.

Bummer. Insurance directed me to Dr. Provost and I called and they are mailing "the packet" to me. Nothing like filling out these packets over and over.

Does anyone out there besides me, feel that some Doc offices really don't like to help us out.

I am in the medical profession and I don't treat my patients this way.

Sorry to ramble. It is so frustrating!

Betty, good luck and keep posting!

Terri - You will love Dr. Provost and his whole staff. I had a great experience while I was there the first time. I have to go back for my pre-op next Tuesday, so I will post and let you know how that went. He is a very busy doctor, but he is one of the best. I am really glad I chose him.

Congrats ILUVHARLEYS!

Only eleven days. Hear that dramatic music in the background?

And the timing is perfect. Winterize the ride, and next year you'll be able to accelerate even faster!

Thanks, I don't think I am ready to put my bike away, but I probably will anyway. We usually ride most of the year here in Texas. This year I will just take it easy. lol

I hope you are getting your ducks all in a row and will be right behind me. Keep me posted!

      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!
