I'm heartbroken [emoji22]



Recommended Posts

I am halfway through the six month supervised weight loss process that BCBSM requires through Beaumont. Due to have surgery in October. I just found out that we may be losing our insurance any week or month now due to my husbands company possibly closing. I finally put my whole heart and soul into this and I am just heart broken. Prayers for a miracle please.

@@laura1116 if the company closes down make sure to utilize Cobra coverage, yes it is more expensive but you will be able to keep on the same track without restarting and overall it will be cheaper than paying out of pocket.

I believe they have to offer Cobra benefits. It's worth the cost not to have to start over. Fingers crossed.

Yes it is @@KristenLe !

@@laura1116 they do have to over Cobra benefits legally as long as the employer had over 20 employees. This is all according to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act health benefit provisions of 1986.

      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!
