My request was submitted on June 17th, or so my Drs. office says, Ive been calling every few days to insurance to keep checking even though we were advised it can take 30 days, well when I spoke with insurance today I was advised they have never received anything Im so beyond frustrated and the girl at the Drs office acted like it was no big deal saying "Well we will just resubmit it today" you would think they check to make sure this information has been received once faxed to the insurance company.... so now my 30 days starts all over again.....I am sooooo ticked......Thanks for letting me vent! :angry:

I had something similar happen on my end. I was all set to make a scene if I showed up to the hospital only to find out I wasn't approved but miraculously the surgeons office got my approval within an hour of me complaining to them about it. :rolleyes: :lol:

Hang in there!

Girl, I can relate! With my doctor, I feel that there was no clear plan set up. I was told surgery would be in July now they tell me August. It's been like pulling teeth for all my doctors to work together. I've been put through the mill with all the testing and still have two tests that need to be scheduled. I totally understand your frustration!!! I am a teacher and August is not good for me. I was hoping to get used to my new stomach for a few weeks. Ugh!!!!

I work in the medical field & it happens all the time.

Insurance companies routinely IMHO- "didn't receive" authorization requests or they say they only got part of it.

Drives me crazy!

allons-y

      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!
