Hey all, I recently completed my 3 month multidisciplinary program for aetna!! My attentative surgery date is April 9th pending insurance approves me. Everything was in order until one of the reps in my Dr office said "do you have two year weight documentation?" Started my whole journey 12/2011. Between 2008-2009 I was between nj and Ga or had no insurance. I started having the Dr track my weight again in 2010. Long story short, I know my bmi has always been high, but my pcp was giving me a hard time about releasing my records and I'm nervous 2010 and 2011 won't be sufficient since I stated my program Dec 2011... Does anyone have any insite? Could this possibly lead to a denial?

Don't worry, I started my journey in November 2011, I have bcbsil. Went through all the necessary steps, but always knew that my bmi was less than the criteria. When paperwork was denied, I devestated, but not for long. Went into plan (B). When plan (B) fell through I went to plan ©. Okay, plan © went through. My surgery is set for April 19, 2012!!! Finally. Just don't worry, you'll be find, help them get all your paper work in line, there is no reason for you to be denied.!! Keep the faith.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
