Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday 3/12 and today (Friday) after 12 pm they want 5 years of my documented weight. I have called any and everyone including my eye doctor to see if they wrote down my weight. Freakin ridiculous.

Hey there! My surgery is scheduled 3/13 and I'm still waiting for approval. I started my process in July of 2012 and I just finally completed all the requirements. I thought I was done and just this week I got a letter from Aetna saying I need my weight history from jan or feb of 2011. Why do they want so many years from you? I was under the impression it was only 24 months. They do ask for a lot!!! Luckily I had gone to an urgent care in January and they weighed me otherwise I would be screwed. No other insurance asks for so much. I am seriously getting overwhelmed, I know exactly where your coming from. I really hope they approve us both. I called today and my approves is still pending. Lets hope I get an answer soon. Good luck to you!!

I am starting my process with Aetna do any of you happen to know how many months of nutritional class or supervised diet you need to complete? Some company's say 3 and some say 6.

Thank 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!
