As of Thursday, August 8 my Doctors office has all of the information, letters, reports to send to my insurance company. I really hope I am done jumping through hoops! Wish me luck, I have Cigna and have heard they are tough.

Good luck! Insurance companies are all different but it sounds like you have everything in order. Let us know how it goes! :)

I have Cigna and with all my paperwork in order, the approval came in about 10 days. Keep calling them to find out if you are approved even if it means calling daily. it's just a caller system so you're not pissing anyone off. good luck!

Call call call, wether its the insurance company OR the doctor's office. AlWAYS be your own advocate! For other people this is simply a pay-check, for you this is your LIFE!!

I have called and e-mailed with no response... I myself work for a doctor and know that someone calling multiple times can be stressing, however because of that I have not called them since last Tuesday. I called the Insurance this morning and they see nothing. I emailed on Friday and left a message this morning... I hate waiting!!

I also have Cigna. When my paperwork was submitted I was denied twice. My doctor then had to do a peer to peer review and now they requested extra documentation so that was submitted on Friday of last week. I hope everything goes through ok so I can really begin my journey with the help of the band. I think with Cigna it all depends on the the reviewer is. Hope all goes well. Good luck. I will keep my fingers crossed for us both.

I am calling my doctors office after lunch to see if the stuff is submitted yet. As soon as it is, I will call every day. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, right? Lol

I missed the call back, but my docs insurance person left a message staying that I need one more report, but it should be easy to get. I'm supposed to call her back in the morning. Trying to stay cool, but I'm eager to get this thing done. I'm already eating better and have lost lots of weight, but I don't like having it looming over my head.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
