Nerves are getting the best of me.....



Recommended Posts

My nerves are raw.... Still awaiting insurance approval and I have a surgery date of Feb. 9... Supposed to start 2 wk liquid diet in 2 days and have anesthesia consult in a week....I want and need this sooo bad....BCBS is gonna make be crazy yet.

I've been reading a lot of post on here and I'm grateful there is support out there... But I think I'm reading too much..... I can't seem to focus on anything but this surgery now and it's keeping me from sleeping too!!!! Arrrggghhh...

Calgon, TAKE ME AWAY!!!!

In Canada the surgery isn't covered we have to pay the whole shot. Good luck!

I won't be able to fund it without insurance.... So I'm praying they come through for me!

I am in the same boat...waiting for insurance approval. I won't receive a surgery date without prior approval from my insurance company. It is so hard to have patience with something so important. I am praying we both hear today!

I can imagine how you feel. I would probably be feeling the same way. I'm praying that all goes well while you're waiting (can be nerve wrecking). But just try to stay positive and if you can try to distract yourself as much as you can. Wishing you the BEST!!!!!

Oh, I have a battle ahead of me too!! I'm currently waiting for the doctor's office to get off their butts and submit to my insurance for approval.... then, after they do that, I'll have to wait in aggony again for the approval! At least your just waiting on the insurance co. Have you called them to find out the status? I have BCBS Fed and they are really good!!

It only took me 4-5 days to hear from my insurance. I have BCBS in IL and my paper work was submitted on a Monday and Friday afternoon, I called BCBS and they told me they just approved it :) I would call if I were you!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
