I was supposed to find out today or last friday, nothing yet!



Recommended Posts

Hello. So I was wondering if anyone else had this happen to them. I was supposed to hear back from Insurance if I was approved or not either last Friday or by today. So far I have heard nothing and I'm really nervous! I'm wondering if this is bad news since it seems to be taking longer than it's "supposed" to. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!! :-)

No, I think it just means your case is not a big priority TO THEM. If you haven't heard by tonight, I would advise calling them tomorrow, and continue to bug them until you get your answer. Be nice, but persistent.

Thank you for your advice and input! I had the insurance department at my surgeon's office do all of my paperwork and communication so far with my insurance company. Do you think I should call them or my insurance company directly? I wasn't really sure who was actually going to contact me. I thought it was the surgeons office, but I don't really know! I emailed the insurance department this morning and haven't gotten a response yet from them. I hate the waiting game!! But I know good things come to those who wait!! Thanks again!

I would call both. Check in with the surgeon's office to make sure everything was submitted when they say it was. Then check with the insurance company. Good luck! Just like senior said, be nice, but be persistent.

      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!
