My claim for vsg has been submitted to BCBS Federal! I've been really confident telling myself that my surgeon wouldn't have me going through all of these evaluations if he didn't think I had a good chance at being approved, but now I'm second guessing myself and worried I've been over confident!! I've heard that BCBS Federal can have a quick turn around time so I'm really hoping by Wednesday I will know. I really want the week of May 12th for my surgery. Panic setting in....I just want to know!!!!!

I've been doing the same thing. My paperwork went in on Wednesday. I am confident and I think it will be approved but I have been psyching myself out the same way you are doing now. I think we are thinking too much, lol. What's to be will be and I am attempting to talk you into a calm state so that I will be calm as well, lol lol lol. It's easier said than done. This process is making me anxious. I have called the insurance company to check that they received it. I am hoping for a fast turn around and I wish the same for you.

Guess its normal, I'm finding myself doing the same thing. My paperwork went in on Today 04/24/14. I am confident and I think it will be approved but I have been psyching myself out the same way you guys are. I'm going to try and sit back, relax and be calm because what's for me is for me and what door God has opened no man can close. On my way to a healthier life.

I hope I have this much luck and blessings with approval , I have just finished my required documentation and 6 month diet for insurance purposes and I will submitting everything next week. Did you go through a patient advocate or did you submit it directly to your insurance company?..

I hope you have a great experience as well. It astounds me at how much I've been blessed to have this experience go so well! My surgeons office has a nurse that works one on one with patients and she gathered all my required info and submitted to insurance. She as telling me all the staff at the surgeons office couldn't believe how fast it was approved!

      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!
