My surgeon just submitted everything to BCBS of Alabama. I thought there was a 15 day wait, but after calling the insurance office, they told me they had 30 days! Argggghhh!

Should I start bugging them in a week or so anyway?

Couldn't help myself....I called BCBS today. They haven't finished reviewing my paperwork, and they reminded me of the "up to 30 days" policy. They received my paperwork on Monday 11/11/13.

I'm finding myself more upbeat these days...thinking that this might actually happen! Might also be because when I get up and open my bedroom door....I have four 8-week old kittens galloping down the hallway to greet me! Puts a smile on my face first thing in the morning!

      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!
