Trying to be patient



Recommended Posts

Hello there all. I was going to post this in the rants and raves section but realized it might better be suited here. I saw my surgeon for the final appointment last Monday the 23rd. I am chomping at the bit because when I called my insurance company on Friday, my office had not even submitted my authorization yet. I know the holidays are busy and it was Christmas. I know I have made it patiently over the last four months, and it seems every day waiting is a little harder. I passed the crossroads of excitement and nervousness. All the nerves and second guesses are gone and I am completely head strong and ready to take the next step in my journey. I feel like once the insurance process is done, everything will come faster. Alas, maybe I should take this time to absorb into the journey and aim for productivity. It is hard though.

A lot of times insurance companies will say they haven't received anything because either they really didn't. ...The stuff was sent to the wrong fax/ department or it can take the insurance companies up to 7 days to load the information in their system. I would suggest you call your doctor's office to find out if they did submit it...If so what number they sent it too other who they called it in too...then call your insurance company tell them the information and see if they can find it or if it went to the right place. Once you get it to the right place follow up on it daily. Unfortunately office staff isn't always very good at this stuff and you have to help it along at times. I hope it gets approved soon.

      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!
