Denied but I won't give up



Recommended Posts

Today I found out that my application was denied. I was upset at first, wondering if I am supposed to get this surgery. I had doubt in my heart. But then I started thinking about the reasons I need this surgery, and how this surgery is a Godsend for us. It gives us an opportunity to regain control of our lives, and live it on our terms. And I became convinced once again that this surgery is what God wants for me. But He never said it would be easy. And I'm a fighter. I've had to fight to get this far. And I will continue to fight!!!

And I'm blessed because the wonderful person helping me with my application is more than ready to appeal as soon as possible. I'm also blessed because I have a place like this where I can come and be myself and give and receive support.

So...here we go!!! Please send prayers and good vibes my way!????

I'm so afraid I'm going to be denied due to a false positive drug test I have not eaten really since Wednesday. I have anxiety problems anyway (PTSD, OCD, GAD) and I just want to vomit. After I get my sleep study in a few weeks they are going to go ahead and submit to insurance and see if they deny it what we need to do.

I hope that you get your approval the first time around. Keep on fighting. Keep on believing. It will happen for both of us. We are both going to have our surgeries and they will be a success!!

Insurance companies are hard to deal wiTh - like they are looking for a reason to deny. Keep after them, with your doctor's help or another advocate working on it, you will get there!

Hi guys!!

I wanted to give an update. I'm in the process of appealing the denial. Hopefully I'll be able to either today or tomorrow. My coordinator had to wait for consult notes from my providers before she can submit the appeal. I'm excited and looking forward to my approval!!

      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!
