HI--it's Kat, we have chatted before. I chat daily in the NJ thread, I haven't heard them say what insurance they each have. It is kinda quiet in there today---but pop over and ask in the thread, they will read it all when they get back and let you know. It is in the New Jersey thread---and we are currently talking in NJ March chat or something like that. They are an awesome group---will help with anything they can. I ended up in there, even though I am in New Mexico----a lot of us are from other states---but they welcome us!

Good Luck finding out what you need!!!

Kat

QuadMom,

I have NJ Plus and have just been approved! I had to do a 6 month medically supervised diet (I've been on many diets before, but had medical documentation on them), had a psych evaluation, and provide my weight from 5 years ago. That info was all sent in on March 19 and I had my approval on Friday, March 30. Will be scheduling my surge

Where are you in the process?

You still need to call NJ Plus yourself and ask about YOUR specific policy. Different companies can take different riders on their policies. You may or may not have a weight loss surgery exclusion. I'd hate to have you get excited about it and find out your company just started excluding it. Call tomorrow morning, then get them to send you the requirements and policy statement so you have it in writing.

Good luck!

      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!
