Did any of you banders get denied on the first try and then their surgeon did a peer to peer review?

Cigna inaccurately read paperwork on my first try and denied my claim. My surgeon has a peer to peer call with them tomorrow morning and I'm hoping for the best as my surgery is scheduled for December 12.

I'd love to know if anyone else went through this and the outcome because I am panicking. :(

I just had this problem 2 weeks ago w Cigna. They claimed they were missing paperwork (like my psych eval, which was the first requirement I did) They did a peer to peer and I got my approval quickly. I was banded today.

Cigna also said that they were missing stuff for me but my dr got it straightened out. I was banded October 4! Good luck!

After all of my anxiety my surgeon told it it took all of 3 minutes for them to reverse the decision! Thank goodness, getting banded on 12/12/12! I am so excited for this new chapter

      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.

      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!
