Insurance stuff being submitted today...now I wait...



Recommended Posts

This is the worst. Just sitting here waiting and praying I get approved. I turned in all my stuff today, and the surgical coordinator told me she'll get it over to United Healthcare today. I already have a surgery date of July 1st, and I'm nervous there won't be enough time to get it approved. The coordinator told me that United takes a while to approve, and if it gets close to my surgery date and still no word then they have this "rapid" response team that'll look it over quickly for me. I wish it only took a couple of days, now I have over 3 weeks to think about it and obsess over it! I fulfilled every requirement they asked of me (a whole years worth of stuff), and I'm SO ready to take this next step soon! Thanks for listening to me vent!

Aetna told me 15 days after they received my package. They took 14 days 5 hours but who was counting? I was really worried but they approved my surgery. Hang in ther.

I think that's what's going to be the worst part of pre-op for me---waiting for the approval. I still have two visits and my psych. But hang in there! We're all pulling for you!

      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!
