I had to FIGHT my insurance company all the way, contact your HR Dept & CEO and beg/pleed for an exception. My companies CEO & HR Manager pushed mine through.

It will happen, be patient and persistant(but kind)

call them up and ask what needs to be resubmitted or what do you need to qualify. If you google BCBS bariatric surgery guidelines you can probably pull up the policy. I have a pdf copy and can send you one if you would like to go through it. I am not exactly sure about anthem, but they should have a similar policy.

Before my appeal was submitted, they told me I needed to show proof that I was compliant with the diet and exercise portion. I sent in my unofficial transcripts for the yoga & boot camp classes I took. I also included a copy of a HMR food order that was placed. The food lasted forever. Besides the doctor let them know I am having difficulty with food because it's constantly getting stuck and although I exercise at times I do not due to joint pain in my hips and ankles.

      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!
