Recommended Posts

I am so nervous! Submitted paperwork to bcbs of il on april 1st and they got all 47 pages of it. So nervous that they will deny me :( how long does it normally take for them to reach a verdict?

I have BCBS of IL as well and my papers were sent in on Friday, March 21st and I just called BCBS and my paperwork is being reviewed and they said it meets the MPM which is some medical manual and I should be approved. 12 business days and now just waiting for them to fax the approval letter to my Dr's office:) So I would say 15 business days is pretty much all it takes!! Good luck!

I have bcbs il as well, I was submitted March 11th and approved the 27th. So didn't take that long and had my surgery date before I had an approval.

      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!
