So I'm still waiting to hear back from my insurance company which is blue cross of Michigan (PPO) ... Anyone have a hard time getting approved with this insurance?

I also have BCBS of MI. How long since you submitted? My case was just submitted yesterday & I'm ready to start bugging them already.

Good luck to you!

Well I'm seeing my surgeon next week and he will submit it after my visit ... I'm just so impatient lol... I'm hoping that it gets approved quickly so that I can schedule for the first week of November! When are you planning on surgery?

Have you heard anything on BCBS denials? My doctor said she only had one case and it was because the woman was borderline obese by her bmi with no comorbidities

I have not heard much on denials, I'm in SC and have BCBS MI (my hubby works for an out of state contractor), so my Dr's office hasn't had much dealings with them specifically. I've been scheduled for Nov. 10th.

I've read my specific requirements very thoroughly & we've checked off everything before we submitted - so hoping this will be a quick and easy approval. Fingers crossed for you too! :)

I have BC/BS MI PPO and saw my surgeon last Tuesday and they scheduled my surgery for Oct 9. They sent in my insurance papers after the apt, and I had call yesterday from their office telling me what my co-pay would be. I asked her if I was approved and she said "of course," like why wouldn't I be. I was surprised because I thought that someone would call and tell me that I was approved.

Well I guess I can vouch for their speed now too! I just got my phone call! YAY! 3 days is all it took! Can't wait for Nov. 10th! :D :D :D

      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!
