Some good thoughts, please!

Can you guys please send some prayers, good vibes, good thoughts my way? I could really use them for my insurance approval. They want more and I don't have anything left to give them.

TIA

If you don't have any more records, try writing a letter. Talk about your history of being overweight and how it impacts your life. Talk about the physical and emotional challenges. Also talk about what you have done in past to lose weight and what you plan to in the future to ensure that this new tool (RNY) works for you.

It may help, it may not, but it can't hurt to try.

Good luck!

Thank you, all. It really means a lot to me to have such an amazing support group here. The majority don't understand and always judge and blame it on poor diet and exercise.

Ms Kb, I did write a 9 pages long personal letter to my insurance. I don't know how much of a difference did it make, though. I gave it to my bariatric coordinator together with all the letters of medical necessity I could "beg" for, from my old PCM, current OB/GYN, and current PCM.

I have to see my PCM next week for obesity counseling again, so she can provide me with the last insurance requirement. Time if so not on my side.

I am not losing faith. I witnessed way to many miracles in my life to give up now.

I will definitely be praying for a smooth approval for you...claim it, gather what you can, and leave the rest up to God.

      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!
