So, my surgeon's office FINALLY received all of my paperwork from my Dr on Friday, and sent it off to my insurance company today!! (finished my six month diet on June 4th). They told me it could take up to 30 days to hear a decision, but I'm really hoping it doesn't take that long!! Fingers crossed for an easy approval!

I was just like you. I finished my supervised diet Friday (6/14) I Didn't trust my GP nurse to fax the paperwork to my surgeon so I did it myself. The surgeon contacted insurance Monday, and I called the insurance today to make sure the paperwork was submitted and I was already approved!

Call the insurance and ask about the status of your paperwork. I did and I was already approved! Apparently most (like mine) mail you a letter in 7-10 business days..ugh

      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!
