Giving Up



Recommended Posts

Don't let the folks at the office give you any grief for "failing to pay your bills," PC. They can't do ANYTHING to you, since you've only failed to pay for a procedure that you haven't received. They can't go after you for not paying for a surgery you've never had.

Hi! My consultation is Thursday and I am so back and forth with this that emotionally it feels easier to just give up. The hard thing for me is not having insurance and being selfpay. It's and extra $500 a month to come up with. Since we own our own buisness I am just going to start working shifts to make up for the extra money but I just have this HUGE feeling of guilt. Like I am being selfish w/Xmas coming, etc... and just selfish period. But I also know that not only will this make me happier....it will make everyone around me happier b/c I can start being me again. It's not like I'm taking money from the kids well being b/c I'm working extra but it just makes me feel bad. They are my heart :cool:

Katybeth<p>understand how you are feeling. That is exactly how I felt when my doctor told me ONE WEEK before surgery that I would have to pay the amount insurance wouldn't pay up front. I felt as though I would be taking from my kids. I was told by Coco6399 to "get over myself and pay the man". Sure, easy enough, right?</p>

      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!
