  1. I just found out on Friday that I got approved... It only took a week! I'm shocked it was approved so quickly... amazed! Happy!! Good luck to you!
  2. That makes me feel a lot better... Thanks! Keeping my fingers crossed.
  3. I was told I had it beforehand when I had a pre-op procedure (upper endoscopy). I NEVER had any of the symptoms you're experiencing, which I later learned is very typical for hiatal hernias. I asked them if they were going to repair it when they do the surgery (date TBD), and they basically said "they'll see" once they're in there. Good luck with that!
  4. Waiting for insurance approval for surgery and... losing patience! Frustrated! Worried!! Is there anyone out there with the same insurance that has any encouraging or realistic news? My insurance verifier said she can't see a reason for the surgery to NOT get approved, but then again I'm at the mercy of the insurance. I was told approval will take 2 to 3 weeks after post op stuff. Ugh!!Almost one week down, more depressed than ever, feeling like I can't take another day being in this fat body. Any and all advice appreciated. Thanks!! :tongue2:
