Sorry that happened to you!

My Dr would not schedule surgery until ins was approved.

Guess I thought they were all like that.

Sorry to hear that....mine gives a fake date to the insurance Co, but never gave it to me...they don't "really" schedule it until they have the written approval in hand. I guess now that is a good thing.....will they appeal it for you??

I think it's the doctor. They are suppose to send everything in and get approved. Aetna wouldn't have contacted you the doctors office dropped the ball. So did the cAncel the surgery too? The doctor should have been on the phone with them working it out.

I feel guilty! Y'all are way more deservimg than me and Aetna approved me without any hassel. However, I think the ladies that deal with the insurance at the dr office were awesome. They told me what I would need and we got it done. I only had one little curve ball at the end. Hang in there. I have prayers and confidence the appeal will work. Your doctor should go to bat for you!! Everyone let me know what happens.

      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!
