hernia surgery no insurance

I also have had mesh surgery as of February this year. Since surgery I have had pain in my stomach everyday and cant work in my job. In hide site I have found a Dr. that will remove the mesh as he is specialized in this field. The downfall is he is in Las Vegas and he doesn't except insurance. He has financing. Its Dr. Kevin Peterson. He has NIS group. NO INSURANCE SURGERY GROUP. Good luck I'll be interested if anyone has this removal. I would like to know the out come.

I can not get travel insurance in relation to hernia surgery. Wondering what the risk is of complications post surgery? Do I go or not go?

I had a few umbilicar hernia operations, the last surgery a mesh was placed in my stomic. Years later I noticed my stomic is geting larger and larger and it is very hard, I was told i need two doctors one for the hernia and the other for the diastasis abd wall. My questions are - 1 would my insurance pay? 2- Do you know of a good Doctor. - Is it a diffacult operation?

i need surgery for my hernia and i need surgery for my back (since i have been put in a back brace once before and it didn't heal properly and is now fractured again, surgery seems the only option)... after the discovery of my hernia i placed a call to a medicaid worker to find out if a visit to a surgeon to look at my hernia and surgery to repair it would be covered and you know what she told me?

I am a 21yo female, 5'4", 118 pounds. I'm gluten sensitive and lactose intolerant but other than some hay fever and asthma I'm a decently healthy person. I was diagnosed with a femoral hernia in October at the ER and was told that no surgeons would see me without insurance so I've just been trying my best to live with it. They told me it wasn't a very bad one though, so I should be fine so long as I didn't lift anything.

from April to August 2010, and left it open wound for a space of three weeks.. They closed the incision again, and after that I had my first hernia surgery on September 2010. After that one, I had every year after, a hernia repair surgery and waiting at this moment for the decision of a new one. I'm really disappointed that I wasn't told about all the complications that this surgery can or might have.

Could this be because of my surgery and are the doctors Responsible for this? I have no medical Insurance either right now so me going to the doctor isn't likely. I am not a complainer and i normally can withstand some pain since my work gets me cut and stabbed with glass and blades a lot. I've had surgery in the past for a stomach condition to where my body was starving myself. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

It took everything I had in order to afford the tummy tuck in the first place, and it looks worse week by week. I am told that surgery to correct cosmetic surgery mishaps is not covered by insurance. Any suggestions?

ll have to find out what your insurance requires before they approve of the surgery. Remember, though, that this is MAJOR surgery, and the recovery process takes a really long time. My aquaintence expects to need help around the house for at least a year. She has other health issues, too, but the point is that this is a very big deal. The longer you can put off this surgery, the better off you'll be.

Hi, I'm 45 andI just discovered today that the hernia repair that I had in 2006 has let go. They used mesh to repair it. After the surgery it seems like my right testicle seems to fixed in place and no longer can move freely. I'm aspecialy worried as I lost my left testicle in 2000 as the result of a staph infection. I currently have been noticing a burning stabbing pain in the right groin and there is a bit of a bump there that was not there yesterday. I also am looking for answers.

They will have to take the baby from my side and there are many risks because of that. My insurance will NOT approve the hernia surgery because it is in Portland which is 4 hours away from me. I get approx. 70 bubbles a day (where I have to push them back in). They are getting harder to push back in.

I have sharp abdominal pain to the right of my abdomen about 3 fingers width. It has been there for months and I mainly feel it upon touch. Lately I've felt bloated. I saw an obgyn and ovaries and uterus have been ruled out. My pcp wants to send me for a CT scan of the abdomen. Is she thinkining hiatal hernia possibly caught early?? I am thin, don't always eat the best, not pregnant (my son is 8) . She says its in the area of the ileocecal valve.

As far as cost, it is my understanding that it costs around $25,000 (in Houston) without insurance coverage. There are a few insurance carriers that still cover it, but many have dropped it from their policy or offer it only as an optional coverage to businesses, many of whom do not accept it. http://www.articlesbase.com/health-articles/proactol-review-does-proactol-diet-pills-work-for-weight-loss-1707237.

The upper endoscopy (EGD) is also required, as was mentioned, but the pH and manommetry tests are usually required by your insurance carrier just to be able to get the prescriptions that are still covered by insurance for GERD. Don't let them talk you into doing this surgery as a first step to resolve the issues, though. See if you can resolve some of these issues yourself first by following some diet modifications and losing any extra weight if you can.

On either side of my pubic bone, I have an egg shaped swelling that puffs out. It goes down when I'm laying down. I am assuming it is some type of hernia. Have noticed for about 10 years, MAYBE one side has gotten bigger. No pain or discomfort, but I find I shy away from exercise worrying about it. I don't have health insurance so surgery is out of the question. At 55, I feel like I really should be exercising, but want to do something safe.

t having any of this pain as I do now. Dr said that as long as I have no problems then surgery can be put off. I still sleep on my stomach and have no pain as long as I do not try to turn.......who ever sleeps in the same position all night. I definitely don't. I don't have any medical insurance and have to pay for everything out of pocket.

If your insurance allows, go directly to a gastroenterologist, who can diagnose a hernia and refer to a surgeon if necessary. Two different PCPs treated me for GERD symptoms for more than 10 years and never found my hernia. When I relocated cities and went directly to a gastroenterologist, she found the hernia right away. She foundation a paraesophogeal hernia the size of a baseball wrapped around my esophogeus.

There does not seem to be much available for my gastroparesis, since Reglan made me sick, Amitiza is not covered by my insurance, and I have no idea if Novardis will accept me to go on Zelnorm. All this and I am only 22 and my 19 year old brother also has gastroparesis. What do you do to deal with gastroparesis and its effects? Any recommendations?

Within an hour after my auto accident I was diagnosed by CT that I had a hernia in my upper stomach where my surgery (cabg) was 5 months prior. No pain or bulge prior to accident. Is this a result of surgery, the accident or both. I don’t understand how a car accident can cause a hernia.

If by chance at the back of your mind you ever feel surgery may be necessary, then leaving a good gap between his neuter surgery and possible hernia surgery should be fine for him.

t have insurance. Although from my understanding, the insurance cos. consider it to be cosmetic surgery (tummy tuck) so i hear they don't cover it most of the time anyway. And that doesn't make a bit of sense to me. I may end up with a flatter stomach because my muscles are sewn back together but who cares how flat your stomach is if you have a scar from stem to stern?!

A hydrocelectomy is typically performed on an outpatient basis with no special precautions required. The extent of the surgery depends on whether other problems are present. If the hydrocele is uncomplicated, the doctor makes an incision directly into the scrotum. After the canal between the abdominal cavity and the scrotum is repaired, the hydrocele sac is removed, fluid is removed from the scrotum, and the incision is closed with sutures.

This was his first Spigelian surgery. He refused to acknowledge any of the complications I am having post-surgery, but did finally remove three of the four permanent sutures. He was able to locate the fourth one and I still have a lot of pain in that region and can palpate a mass in that area. I finally found a doctor that began giving me injections for pain and that helps, but my insurance doesn't cover it and I could not afford to get them after a year and a half of that treatment.
