On to the waiting game



Recommended Posts

I completed my 6 month diet yesterday. I lost 15 lbs. It was submitted to insurance today! Now 2 week wait for insurance response. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

@@Flygirl123 There is a really good chance that it won't take your insurance company 2 weeks to respond. Once my paperwork was submitted, my insurance company (United Healthcare) responded in less than 36 hours.

Take this time to learn as much as you can on what your post surgery life will be like. It will make the time go faster, and you'll really be glad you did.

Best of luck on your journey!

Thanks for the encouragement. I also have United health care. Wow that would be awesome if I got a response that quickly! I wasn't looking forward to the 6 month wait. But it did give me time to start making the needed changes for life post sleeve.

The waiting is so frustrating! Hopefully your team is a lot more efficient than my team and they don't sit on your case for weeks because they are just inept.

Have you heard anything yet? That's awful. She said she submitted to insurance the same day I faxed her the form from my dr. She emailed me to let me know. So thankfully, I believe she did submitted it. I thought it would take a couple of days but I guess not.

Hi I was told it would be a couple of weeks for approval and I was approved the next day. Don't worry your hard work over the last couple of months will pay off.

      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!
