Congrats I finally got approved TODAY after two denials. It took a peer to peer with my surgeon and Cigna to get approval. So excited. July 31st is less than 2 weeks away!

WOW! That's great! I am so excited for you. I cannot believe they gave you the run around. I hope that doesn't happen to me too. I am going to do my best to get everything done they are requesting. So when is your surgery?

I got approval this morning.Been fighting with ins cigna for this since Feb.Turned down twice third time was the charm.I changed doctors after denied twice.So don't give up ladies.Once I changed doctors it was a breeze.Make sure u find a doctor with a good coordinator. That's the trick.Omg finally I'm so excited.Also my bmi was 35 that's why I had trouble with Cigna.But I'm in 14 meds.Plus I'm a diabetic so guess Cigna seen I needed this surgury.I'm 5'2 190 lbs.So 60 lbs will make such a difference.Good luck everyone.

      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!
