Again, thanks for all of this info. I have scheduled my surgery for 10/30 with Dr. K in Colorado for $9900. I'm a little nervous about needing to travel back so far for fills and worried that facilities here in Chicago will turn me down for these - or will charge way too much!

I got a detailed message today from Greate Lakes Weight Center in Michigan - who charges $10700 with everything included, plus overnight stay. Says they are able to schedule me withing two weeks. But, they want $500 to hold a surgery date. I'm skeptical of this and need to do some BBB research, etc.

If I was convinced of getting local fills at a reasonable price - I wouldn't consider them as much - but, they closer to home. Also, they've changed their name from something else and I don't understand why.

Dr. John Groves done mine a week ago for 15,500.00 So far, its been worth every penny. He also had to repair my hernia at no additional charge. My surgery was done late that evening and I went home next morning 10:00 a.m. Wonderful doctors and they also accept carecredit....who could afford that without it?? LOL Oh yeah, He is located in North East Alabama (Albertville) email me for more info if interested. :cool2:

      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.

        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!
