Waiting..Aetna Approval



Recommended Posts

Hello all!! This post was very refreshing! I just completed my 6 month program. Due to the holidays I haven't been able to be in contact with my surgeon. I'm calling tomorrow so that they can submit insurance paperwork. I'm really excited!! I hope Aetna is good to me! Wish me luck guys!

Nerlyc, Congrats! Did you lose any weight during the 6 mo program? Just curious! Good luck!

No I was a bad girl and didn't lose any weight. I did however maintain my current weight. So helpfully they don't deny due to no weight loss.

Aetna took 10 days business days to apporve me - it felt like a lifetime, especially because of the Thanksgiving holiday and the office being closed

@enuff' date=' thank you!!! I hope so. All I know is that I need to put my act together. And start losing some weight on my own. So Aetna can see I could do it....I may start the liquid diet, after the holidays though...lol :-x Have you thought of doing your own videos on youtube to inspire our people before and after surgery? I though of it, but let's see what happens. Keep us updated with your surgery date. ;-)[/quote']

Sadly i never saw this i dont think. I uave not done any videos but will start tomorrow when i get my replacement pc!!! I am scheduled for the 8th of february....

      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.
