Hi, I am waiting for approval from my insurance company, my paperwork was submitted on March 10 to BCBS. I just need to know if everyone called their insurance companies, I'm kind of afraid of being a pain in the butt, I'm scared they will boot me to the end of the line every time I call but this is the hardest part of the whole 6 month process.

My papers were sent on the 21 of March to BCBS we can wait together. I haven't called insurance yet but I keep going onto website to see if it is in system. I will call on Monday....kind of afraid to get rejected , you are correct this is the hardest part.

I hope you get approved soon, I got frustrated because I read other posts that people had been approved in hours, but it'll be worth the wait I'm sure! Good luck to you, I'm sure you'll be approved!

      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!
