I hate waiting!



Recommended Posts

As the subject says, I hate it! I feel like I am doing nothing to help this along. I have completed all my appointments, had my first consult with the surgeon andall my info will be submitted to the Insurance for approval tomorrow. From what I gather Aetna approves fast so I should knowearly next week but until she gets all my info they won’t even schedule the 2ndconsult.

All of my paperwork was submitted yesterday to insurance. I completed my 6 months on the 15th along with pych eval, and dietican consult. I had a sleep study done as well "sometimes aetna request one be done". I actually talked to a lady today through Aetna's precertification department that told me there are 2 different numbers paperwork can be submitted to. 1 number takes the paperwork through all of the process which can take up to 3-4 days. The other number is what they call the fast track number. It actually sends the paperwork through to the precertification number right then and can be approved that day or the next. I called the office back to see if they could re-fax it to the fast track number. I am ready to get this going.. I have never been this excited about anything other then the birth of my children, and my wedding of course.. This is a new beginning for me!! Let me know how long it takes for yours to go through!!

Could you share the fast track fax number? I would like to see if they can do that, I don't think my Aetna requires the sleep study, I think it's all on the surgeon.

      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?

        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.
