The Wait Will Drive Me Nutso!



Recommended Posts

OMG...this wait is making me CRAZY. I've called every day. I try to distract myself but it just doesn't work.

I'm anxious and preoccupied, and frankly, a little irritable. The longer I wait, the crankier I am!

I need some Xanax and a massage! ;)

Well, today is the first day that I haven't called Aetna about my pre-approval but it's only bc I have a HORRIBLE toothache and I just didn't feel like hearing bad news again. :(

Last Friday marked 2 weeks since submission. I did everything right and I'm incredibly frustrated and down in the dumps bc it's not looking good.

I just don't get it... :(

Well you didn't get denied straight away like I did with my last insurance. I had a negative answer in a day. Maybe that's not a bad sign that they are taking so long?

Aetna told me they had to give a determination in 7-14 days. Is it because you had to resubmit? I'd be calling and asking for a timeframe at the very least. So sorry for the toothache to make things even worse! Hang in there. You won't even remember this part a year from now.

Still no word? I just read this thread and I thought for sure by the end you would have had a response!!!! I am so sorry this is happening to you. I just submitted today to Aetna. I was curious if calling would help speed things along but it seems that was not your experience. Please let us know how things work out for you.

      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!
