Surgery date first, still waiting for approval



Recommended Posts

My doctors office called today, May 1st; my paperwork is being sent out, does this make sense? Preop is April 23- I'm diabetic, I have sleep apnea- I have united health care Oxford liberty, you think I'm gonna be approved? Help!

Look at it this way...they see dozens upon dozens of people like you and with your insurance policy....feel encouraged that they feel confident about your approval.

In my office, we see claims we just know should not, and are not going to be a problem so we get a head start instead of waiting......

and if not, they re-schedule....no big deal. (other than you taking time off and arranging your schedule)

so be confident that they are confident....

I was approved 1wk to the day of my paperwork going in.

If you don't get approval, the Drs the one who has to change their schedule.

      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!
