My doctor had the peer to peer today and the medical director asked him to summit my 3 months of weigh-ins directly to him and he will get back to us with an answer within a week!! OMG...please pray that I finally get my approval!

January for me too! That's when I had my first dr weight check. In the beginning I was hoping for a late may surgery but now I guess June would be nice. Lol my son graduates June 8 and was wanting it done before then. Everyday I pray with my husband it will be approved. They have had it three weeks Monday!

In New Jersey and really was hoping for late April Or early may as well. Now looking like June or later. I have a huge deductible so it has to be this year as I've met it doing all this preparation

I actually started in Oct 2013 and did 3 months diet and got denied so I went to a better documented diet plan in January and just finished. Do u have Cigna? Have u had your Dr call and check on status with insurance? I have Cigna and always got a response with a week

Insurance said they did not receive clinical papers but they did. I just don't know what the hold up is. Did ur dr tell you why the long wait? Did u have to resubmit everything?

Its only day 2 since my peer to peer and Medical Director at insurance said he would give me an answer within a week. Probably take the whole week and not count weekends...grr... I have had to resubmit so many times do to them saying they didn't get this paperwork or that paperwork...I think it's just a stall on the insurance part.

      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!
