Stay on them!!! Call every day... Twice a day if u want. Mine was the same way!! It took a week before my case was opened and that following Monday I got an approval (after I had called them that morning and afternoon)

I called the surgeon's office to ask them about it and she said ( not yet). I asked her if I should call and she said no , to leave them alone. I don't know what to do. My pre testing is tomorrow and I'm just getting discourage ..

I know. I'm Nervous for that too. But everything should be ok.. Do you think it's a good idea to call the insurance ! Im so curious.. And worried.. .. I cant stop going to YouTube and checking updates on people that had it done already.. And I guess preparing my mind to what is coming ..

I'm counting the days. 15 more days to go. And very nervous

@Jocy...call the insurance comp. Just politely ask if they got your paperwork and everything they need and if there is a status update....I did...I don't have Aetna. But I called BCBS every single day sometimes two or three times a day...the squeeky wheel gets the grease!!!

You pay them, not your surgeon. They are your customer service. Call them if you want to. You will always be a better advocate that paid help.

      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.
