I have BCBS of MA (PPO). I wrapped up all my required pre-op appts on the 15th of this month. To my surprise, I received an approval letter from BCBS yesterday. I was told by the program coordinator at the clinic I'm going to that by far, BCBS is the easiest insurance company to work with--notification of decision usually received within a week and a half.

I have BCBS of MA also and my paperwork was submitted on June 4th and the dr called me yesterday and said I was approved! I'm so excited I have a surgery date but I am a little worried about how much money is due on surgery date! Anyone know with this insurance?

Hi! When is your surgery? I had my pre op appointment today and I had to pay $1,145 dollars. Which really isn't that bad. But don't quote me! That's just my experience!

      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!
