Ok guys...

I finished all my tests and everything for the insurance company. Everything is submitted. I am now just waiting for my Doctor's office to call me and let me know if I am approved. They said my issurance company usually takes 15 days to approve. I have started buying things as if I am approved and just saving the receipts. I won't have much time to do all that if I just wait for an answer to do all that. Keep your fingers crossed. :eek:

I would suggest you consider calling the insurance company as well. Sometimes they seem more receptive if a 'customer' (i.e. patient) calls in addition to the doctors office.

Hey,

Thanx for the advice. My woman at the doctor's office who is handing my stuff is great and will call me as soon as she knows.

I have BCBS Empire Blue out of New York.

My insurance packet was submitted one day and I was approved the next. It was awesome. The insurance company (the caseworker) even called and congratulated me on my approval! They were wonderful.

You guys are so lucky with your fast approvals. My paperwork was sent in on Thursday and I hate the waiting and it has only been 2 days. Should I call them next week or should I just wait for them to contact my Drs office?

      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.

      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!
