Topic: RE: Tummy Trouble

Thanks for the replies.  I found out that I have a small hiatal hernia motlity issues and a small telescoping of my small intestine.  I also went to see my gp and a gastro.  the gastro seems to think that my pain is caused by scar tissue tearing.  so I am on muscle relaxers.  I am going to see another bariatric surgeon for a second opinon.

Have things worked out for you? How was the upper gi? I was in er this weekend overnight for severe cramping. I am arranging for an upper scope, as the CT scan showed significant food in my pouch--suspect stricture at lower stoma.

Topic: RE: Unity or Methodist?
I agree that you need to go to both info sessions. All of the programs have different protocols after surgery. Make sure you choose the one that you think fits you the best. I am 7 years out and this was the best decision! My surgeon was Dr Jones from Park Nic

Topic: RE: Summer Clothes

Thank you so much for the invite, however, I live about 60 miles southwest of the "cities" and driving that far for coffee would be difficult to justify. I could use the support though so will take you up on your offer of adding me to the Facebook group. My name on FB is Michelle Yock Reid. Thanks again and I look forward to getting to know you and others! Michelle

PS... I see we had the same surgeon. :)

Topic: RE: Summer Clothes

I've been at goal for awhile now, so I can't help you with clothing.  Sorry!  However, we would LOVE for you to join us for coffee sometime.  This-coming Saturday, July 20th, will be at the Caribou Coffee in Eagan inside the Byerlys at 8:30am.  We do most of our communication via Facebook these days.  If you would like me to add you to the FB group, I would be happy to do so.  Just message me (or post) your Facebook id.  I am sure there are people with clothing to share--just post on FB about it and you will get responses!!

Topic: Summer Clothes

Hello! I miss the clothing swaps we used to have twice per year. one in the spring and one in the fall. I am in desperate need of some summer clothing, pants/shorts size 18-20 and tops size 2X-3X. I know there is a coffee group that exchanges clothes amongst eachother on Saturday mornings in Burnsville I believe (?) but I live about an hour away from the cities and if I knew for sure that there would be some in those sizes that I could use, it would be worth the trip for me... So, I guess I'm just putting it out there that if anyone is thinking of hosting another clothing exchange I would be interested in helping with it or if anyone has any of the clothing I listed and would be willing to part with it for FREE or for really cheap, please let me know. Thanks! Michelle

PS... Also, I have some size 22 pants and 3X-4X tops that I would like to get rid of them. If anyone is looking for these sizes please let me know. They are FREE for the asking!

Topic: RE: Medica Insurance Denial for Revision from Band to Sleeve- anyone successfully appealed?

UPDATE:  I have submitted my insurance appeal (2nd level) and the next step is that they hold a hearing where I get to give 10-15 min testimony.  Has anyone had to do this?  How did it go for you?

I have not had issues like you describe and it's been a couple of days, so I hope they have found a resolution for you.  Hang in there.

Topic: Tummy Trouble

I had RNYGB 41/2 yrs ago. In the last 6 months I have gained 25 pounds and have had major issues with reflux and pain.  I finally called the dr and went in today. I have an upper gi in the morning.  I just hope that I sleep tonight after all the meds the dr put me on.  I haven't had a good nights sleep in 2 weeks because I wake up in pain.  Anyone ever have these issues?
