Obsessively checking online to see if I've been approved



Recommended Posts

My surgeon's office submitted for approval yesterday. All is done, so it shouldn't take long, but I'm anxious because if I don't have surgery in early October, I'll have to wait until late November because of schedule conflicts. So, I just keep checking online, hoping status changes from "pending" to "approved".

Ahhhh i keep checking to see if my insurance even received my paperwork! Im trying not to be a pain at my surgeons office but they were getting my paperwork together last thurs. Then we just had the labor day weekend so I'm sure that didn't help anything. Smh

It shouldn't take long, but one thing that I remember someone telling me when I was at this point was, DON'T RUSH IT...when it's meant to happen, IT WILL and you'll be ecstatic!!!! It will be approved when you least expect it and tears of joy will become endless!! Best of luck on your journey!! -Vanessa ????

Thank you ladies. Sigh I'm just impatient now. Little bumps in the road has happened during this process so I'm anxious. I've been at it since December of 2014! I'm going to call today.

Nope. The website still says "pending further review."

      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!
