I am going through something similar , My paperwork was submitted on 8/16 and I just received a letter from the insurance company stating that they were unable to substantiate medical necessity for the surgery .. My BMI is 43.5 and I have sleep anea and pre diabetic ... Just more hurdles to jump through

My insurance company requested more paperwork because they the way my doctor's office submitted my 6 month diet was not the exact way they wanted it. They have a to have a particular sheet filled out of each month. They would not take any other form of paperwork. Maybe that is all your insurance will need...once they got that paperwork they approved me within a couple of hours! So fingers crossed for you!!!! Good Luck!

Well it was not an official denial , so I am still waiting ... what I did was provide my surgeon cord a copy of the letter and she immediately started to work on it , however have not heard back as of yet ..... Please wish me luck

I also received special paperwork from UHC - so at my 6th visit I made sure that I had signed that form and told the coordinator to use this form when they send it all in. I think they had a copy of the form already - but at least I knew that I had signed this one....all done and approved in 3 business days.

      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.

        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!
