My file was sent to UHC on Friday. I called tonight just for kicks and giggles, but it wasn't showing in the system yet. So I shall try again at a later date!!

Yes definitely try again! My insurance company told me they work over the weekend on these approvals so maybe yours does too! <3

I'm really hoping you hear something soon sassy!

In the meantime, I have two more appointments left before going in for final approval from insurance; one is schedule for this coming Friday and the last is early next week. Why do I feel like time has gone into slow motion suddenly? Usually time flies by, except now I feel like I'm never going to get done with these appointments!!!

Ugh. Hopefully once it goes to insurance it won't take them forever to approve. Fingers crossed for both you sassy and me!!!!

Ladiessss! I have officially been approved! I'm still in total shock but so glad it's FOR SURE this time! My file was submitted last Friday so I was approved in 2 business days which totally surprised me! I am so stinkin excited.

@@RNYDawn isn't your date soon??? Please keep us posted on your progress. I'm tickled pink for you and @@Nurse_Lenora !

@@Renkoss thank you so much! And yes- I believe the time at the end seemed to slow down drastically for me as well. Your appointments will be here and gone before you know it! Our surgery dates may be fairly close :) I will definitely be sending prayers your way as you await the decision from insurance! Let me know how it all goes for you :)

Sassy, I am pre-op! I just finished up month 3 of the 6 month insurance requirement! I expect my surgery to be in May or early June at the latest!

      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!
