Hey Living for God. I was denied with BCBS Fed because the provider exhausted all of appeals. I had unlimited appeals so I wrote a letter to my insurance company with all of the information and I was approved within a week. Don't ever give up because you have rights! Keep fighting and hang in there. Today is my surgery date

Hi CB I also have fed BCBS. I'm still waiting on approval. Did they give you any reasons for the initial denials? What was the difference in what you submitted for your appeal and what the doctor submitted? I am concerned that they won't approve mine and I've been waiting for the last 3 months.

First appeal was denied due to missing information (proof of failed diets and nutritional evaluation was negative) 2nd appeal customer service representative said they didn't receive psychological info . Waisted an appeal re sending that document. Then my provider scheduled peer to peer review with medical director and they explained that I was missing the information and to resubmit. However when provider resubmitted BCBS Fed said all appeals had been exhausted and BCBS Fed and they never looked at new information. I wrote the appeal letter and was approved within a week

      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!
