Over the past few months I have built a relationship with the case worker from my insurance company. Yesterday I called and left a message that my paper work had been submitted.

This morning she called me and told me she had not got it yet, it can take a couple days to process, but that she would turn it around as soon as she gets it. She said I should hear something by Friday or Monday at the latest.

I know I am being selfish, but I am hoping for today :)

When I started the process I called and spoke to the nurse over Bariatrics. I asked what I need to do to qualify. We talked for a few min and I asked for a phone number in case is had any questions... After my second apt I called and told her I had my second apt and validated my status. After my third apt I called her and validated my status and asked who would be reviewing my case... I asked her if I could call and tell her it was being submitted.

Tuesday I called her and left a message that it was coming. She called me on Wednesday said she would be looking for it and try to pull it. Today I am approved.

Now I am waiting for my surgeons scheduler to call. If they don't call by 3:30 I'm calling them.

      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.

        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.
