I am nervous it has been almost a month since I have finished everything I need to get approved. But I have not heard from the clinic I have been calling almost every day. I keep getting the say line it is in review by the director. I am not sure if I messed up somewhere. I'm scared that they will tell me no

Think positive. If it is meant to be it will happen. I had a surgery date the first day I met with the surgeon and after all the appointments and tests it wasnt until 2 days before surgery that my ins co approved me. If you have done everything required of you then don't worry.

Unless you hear the word "denied" you have every right to hope for a positive outcome. Hang in there. My fingers are crossed! ????

Can you just call your insurance company and check the status?

I called my insurance and they have not sent it back in for the insurance company to review it so I'm not sure what they are doing

Try to get ahold of someone in the office. They may not have sent it in. I know my friend's kept getting bumped to the bottom for some reason and it finally took her going to the place and watching them fax it to her insurance to get them to do it. Some places also take longer if there's a lot of people going for it

Go in to the clinic. Ask how many patients ahead of you and when they will send your papers in. Your approval from ins is only good temporarily so they may be waiting to send in your papers based on the number of clients ahead of you.

What they keep telling me is the department head is looking at them then it goes to the dr then it will go to insurance

      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.

      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.
