I Think I Have A Date!?!



Recommended Posts

His morning I called Indiana Medicaid to check the status of my claim for approval. I was told that they have approved the room Jan 14-18, so I guess that's my date? The insurance specialist is gone until Monday at the surgeons office, so I can not check with her (ugh!) I am assuming that Medicaid will not approve a room if they aren't going to approve the actual procedure.. Right?

Have you heard anything from your insurance yet? I hope everything is approved.

I'm still waiting, my tentative date is January 16th. I called the insurance on the 19th and was told I was approved. The surgeon hadn't received the authorization yet so I called again yesterday and was told she made an error and that my request for authorization was submitted for review on the 19th. I had a really bummed out day yesterday. I hope everything goes smoothly for you and all is approved.

I moved to Kansas from Hawaii to take care of my mom and dad who are in poor health. It took some getting use to but I'm 75 miles north of Tulsa and a little over 2 hours south of Kansas City...I do have days where I want to run and keep on running, lol

I hope we both hear something positive today. Here's keeping my fingers crossed for both of us.

It sounds like we may have the same people working on our case... I called my insurance company and they said if I don't hear from them then call the surgeons office. Pray tell how the surgeons office will know something when the insurance company doesn't.

It's hard trying to sit tight n wait on them especially after being told I was approved then told they had it wrong. Just gotta try and think positive thoughts but the negative ones are lurking around the corner. Lol

      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.

        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!
