Surgery approval, How long did it take for you to get your insurance approval?



Recommended Posts

I'm just curious to know, how long it took for everyone to get approve after you submitted to your insurance and what insurance do you have?

It only took 2 weeks for my insurance to approve my surgery. I have Capital Health Plan in Florida.

My request was submitted last Thursday. I was told it would take 5-10 business days as it has to go to two insurance companies. United health care and BCBS. Keep you posted.

They told me 2 weeks and I submitted monday and knew in friday. I advise you call them every couple days otherwise you will be waiting on a letter in the mail and it will take much longer. If approved they can tell you if u call, but they will not call you. I have federal bcbs

      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!
