Had my final visit with my surgeon today! I've met all insurance requirements along with his requirements. I've lost some weight and dropped myself to a BMI of 40. He said that I have proven I'm serious about this surgery and what it will entail post op so he's given the office the go ahead to submit my file to insurance.

From what I've read with most UHC folks, they don't take too long to respond. Either way....this little lady is going to have a fun time keep herself preoccupied until we receive an answer! I cannot believe I'm this much closer!!!!

Thank you! Thank you! I'm having to remind myself to relax and let it be. If they deny...I can appeal. But I will cross that bridge IF I get to it. No need in worrying over something that may never take place. Hopefully the next time I'm posting a new topic...I'll be sharing my surgery date! Which I hope to be in early March..will work out perfectly with work!

Exactly! That's wasted energy and you have so much more you can be getting done. Keep your focus on you and how far you've come already. Good luck with your surgery!!!

      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!
