Bariatric Heavy
I would like to get bariatric surgery(stomach stapling): I have medicare part 1 and 2- will it cover it?
i am at my wits end with being heavy,fat and overweight,I would like to get the bariatric surgery(stomach shrinkage) and am curious: I have medicaire part a and b. Would I be able to get this surgery done? I live in Florida, am 37 yrs old, male, in relatively good health, but I need to lose this weight as it is ruining my life in every way. I have a BMI of 43- way too heavy for my 5'8" height, and i am beyond miserable. I don't make much money, so eating healthily is an EXPENSIVE option that i cannot afford- i eat to be full- which is the bad thing. Any help? Thanks.
There are 5 basic types of bariatric surgery. Medicare will not cover sleeve gastrectomy or vertical gastric banding. They will cover Roux-en-Y bypass (RYGBP), Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS), and Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) under they following conditions: You must have a BMI of greater than 34, you must have at least one co-morbidity related to obesity, and you must have been previously unsuccessful with medical treatment for obesity. In addition, these procedures are only covered when performed at facilities that are certified by the American College of Surgeons as a Level 1 Bariatric Surgery Center or certified by the American Society for Bariatric Surgery as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence.
You can find approved facilities by searching on this website: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/center/coverage.asp If you contact these facilities they will help your further.

Umbilical Hernia - Should I Have the Procedure?
Hi everyone,
I'm 34 and in fair shape (I'm 6'1 and 225 lbs), and my regular doctor says I have a small umbilical hernia (I think from helping my father-in-law move some heavy stuff in his garage). It's a small bulge in my belly button - it's mostly just annoying and unsightly. There is no pain...just weakness in the area. Size is maybe .5 inch or so.
I got a second opinion from a bariatric specialist MD and he confirmed the diagnosis. I'm thinking about having the surgery, but I'm worried about the recovery, infection, mesh vs. non-mesh. Are there any good free (and trustworthy) websites to read reviews of my Dr?
For those of you in the medical field or if you've had this procedure, what are the considerations? I have some anxiety and don't know what questions to ask. Any help is welcome and appreciated.
I work for a surgeon and I can tell you that if you're worried about him/her having to use mesh, then get it repaired sooner rather than later! If you wait, the defect in your fascia will become bigger, requiring mesh rather than just suture; and you also run the risk of a loop of bowel or mesentary getting stuck up there as well; then it has the potential of becoming an emergency surgery.
A small umbilical hernia can be repaired by oversewing the fascial defect with some O-Vicryl suture or better yet, some O Nurolon suture. The post-op recovery period isn't too bad.......remember that everyone heals at a different rate though; it's an "individual" thing. Don't put it off though; you'll be glad you had it taken care of ASAP!
