Topic: Meeting in Sedalia

Our BRHC Bariatric meeting went great last night, and several of the post op patients are now coming on a regular basis!  A few of us decided last night that a little extra encouragement would be a great thing throughout the month, so on Sunday, October 7, we will be meeting at Denny's at 7 pm.  We're just going to chat, discuss how things are going, and share ideas that work, so if you're in the area and would like to join in, please feel free!!

I just hit my 2 yr. surgiversary date and I have had my surgeon's referrel for plastics approved by my insurance company.  Dr. Rosellen S. Meystrik, MD is the Plastics Surgeon that I was recommended to.  Has anyone used this surgeon and if so, how was she?

 

Thanks!

Topic: RE: Hiatal Hernia question

You're correct.  Thankfully I found out at my follow-up appointment that I have a medium sized hiatal hernia, and that it (can) be fixed during the weight loss surgery, so that was a relief to hear.

Thanks!  :-)

HI,

 

I got your pm you sent but for some reason II am having technical difficulties too, and cant post a reply to that;..  I am in St Peters and had my surgery at Depaul 3 years ago.   Would love to chat and maybe answer any questions any new surgery people have.

It is VERY common to have a hiatal hernia and many Dr's probably expect to find them. Mine wasn't found before surgery, but found one in my revision surgery, so it was fixed at that time too. I haven't ever heard of anyone not having surgery due a HH, that is just another item they will fix during your surgery! Good luck!

Topic: Hiatal Hernia question

I had an Endoscopy done, and as I expected, I have a hiatal hernia.  Has anyone's doctor in this area not performed the WLS because of the hiatal hernia?  Or have they delayed your surgery because of it?  Thanks!  :-)
