I cant believe it that today was my final weigh in and insurance has been submitted. I can't believe it is so close! It is a little overwhelming ! Hopefully I find out soon :)

Awesome!

I hope you find out soon. My patient care coordinator told me on Monday that she was hoping to submit my paperwork by thursday, so I hope to hear something by next week! I have Anthem BC and one of the reps told me they have to respond within 5 business days.

i've been waiting over a week. i called the insurance company to follow up and they told me they requested additional information from the doctor. i called the doctor and they said they were on it... i'm going to call the insurance company again today. patience is not one of my strongest virtues. :rolleyes:

I have Anthem as well. My advocate told me when she was filing that they have 30 days legally. But she called me 2 days later with the approval! Yay! Surgery date of 11/4. Good luck! I hope you hear back just as quickly.

Oh no! I hope you hear soon that would be very frustrating. I have Federal BCBS and I have heard that they are fast with reviews and approvals.

I called my insurance company today and they have not received a submittal yet. So then I called my doctor's office and they said they are working on it. I asked why they didn't submit it last week and she said that they got to busy, Really? I am not a patience person, :)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
