IBS Flare related to Eating Difficulties and Joint Pain

 Even with insurance major illness can be financially devastating....it's a problem that we really need to address in this country.  Hugs((()))

I totally agree! 

During my time banded, I was insured and still went broke from all the chronic pain treatments. It didn't help that I lost my job due to the overwhelming pain I was in, of course.

We never were able to catch up and we're trying to get our house out of foreclosure currently. The band ended up being a mighty expensive endeavor for me.
