So, I was living in Arizona and had my 6 months of insurance required nutrition visits. Then we had to move because my husband is serving in the military. I'm just wondering if I'm going to have to start over and if any of you have moved during this process?

Thanks!

I had to when I moved (2 different insurance providers) Are you using TriCare? They might be able to transfer your records.

Talk to them before the move to see what you need to do. If you are having it done at the base hospital there might be things you can streamline.

I switched practices half way through. I was incredibly uncomfortable with the former practice and feel so much better/safer with my new surgeon. I was open with my insurance company and they supported me 100%. Make sure you fill out all the HIPAA release forms ASAP and have your records emailed to you (paper copies can get lost/damaged). Your new practice should have no problem accepting the prior doctors information.

GOOD LUCK!

I started in Tricare north region then moved to South region I have Tricare standard. I changed from a clinic in Illinois to mayo Clinic in Florida. I just had all my records sent over and picked up from there. I was approved in the South region then moved back to the North region. Tricare told me as long as I have surgery where I was approved I will be OK. I will still have surgery at Mayo Clinic in Florida where I was approved even though I now live in the North region. This is how Tricare standard works though. Prime is another type of beast

      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.

        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.

      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!
