As of yesterday, surgeons office couldn't locate my chart/file...today got email from them stating they located my chart. Dr. Dunshee had it and had discussed my case with his partners. We are awaiting dictation, then we will submit to insurance. They''ll let me know next week when they submit it. So here for the past 2 weeks I thought I was waiting to hear from insurance and they haven't even sent it off yet! So...at the rate they're going, it will probably be another 2 weeks or more before I hear anything.....Grrrrrrrr

Frustrating for sure! And rude on their part.

I'm sorry to hear that. My doctor's office manager refused to submit my paperwork. I got the insurance commissioner involved, because she was refusing to cooperate with me.

Good luck & I'm sorry that you have been going through this!!!

Tammy, hang in there, it will happen and it will be worth it. I am on pins and needles waiting for Oct. 17th to come. Wish I didn't have to wait so long but again it will be worth it!

It was the office manager. She was horrible. Thankfully, she's not there anymore!

I know it will happen, its just I need to know what the insurance will pay so I know what we have to pay so we can save it up or get a loan..the point is, I was told by the doctor that it would be submitted within a couple days of my last appt. Which was on the 12th...I was a good girl & didn't bug them....guess I should have though!

Call your insurance company. They can tell you the percentage that will be covered...

How long does it take once the insurance company gets it? I called and they confirmed receipt. I had a lapband that is defective. I have BCBS of IL. They gave me their usual & customary timeframe. Anyone know?

Waiting for approval....

      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!
