Just received a call from the weight loss center saying that my insurance doesn't cover wls. This AFTER my pcp called to verify it would before making the referral, and I myself calling, before I made the effort to fill out all the information and submitting it. When I initially called, they said that if my primary did a referral, then it was in fact preapproved. Today, after getting the call saying it wasn't approved, I contacted insurance again. They told me I could do a medical exemption questionnaire, which if approved, would qualify me for the surgery. So I did the questionnaire with them. She said I should know by the end of this week or early next week if approved. She also suggested I do a more in depth one through my pcp, which should help. When I called them, they were clueless as to what I was talking about. They are going to contact my insurance and get back to me. I really hope and pay this goes through, as I feel this is a life or death matter for me at this point. This weight is slowly killing me.

As I stated in a post earlier today, I got the medically exempt status approved! As soon as I get the letter (hopefully tomorrow )I can fax it to the WL center and they will go from there. Then it's time for me to officially start my journey!

      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.
