I got a check in the mail today reimbursing me for all the payments I made to the Surgery Center. I can't believe it! It was for $725 and some change. Wow. I knew that it should be coming, but never thought I'd actually see it.

Apparently, this surgery center didn't have things set up right with the insurance company and they weren't allowed to bill for the procedure that I had. Because it was their mistake, the insurance paid them nothing and my liability was nothing.

I was actually really bothered by this at first and told the insurance woman that it felt dishonest to me to have the surgery center receive nothing for my surgery. She said that it was the surgery center's fault and that it was between the insurance and the center and that it wasn't something I needed to worry about. It sounded like it's something that happens sometimes and it didn't seem like it was all that big of a deal to them. To me it sure was!

This is such a blessing right now because I'm out of work. Also, my husband is trying to relocate and even though his company will move us, it's still going to cost money to move with deposits and everything. Also with Christmas coming up, our savings account is low and so this money is so needed right now. Huge sigh of relief!

Yeah Shinyhappy - given your circumstances, this is great indeed! I know all about the incidental moving expenses that you have even if a company moves you; best to keep that money safe for that.

      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!
