it only took mines a week after it was submitted....the insurance lady called and said I see you are scheduled for surgery...I almost passed out...lol

How long until you guys submitted stuff til you got insurance approval? My last appt is next Friday!! So I'm trying to estimate time it will take to get approval & surgery date....

Mine was submitted on June 23 and approved on June 24, the very next day. But, I didn't find out until today when I called the insurance myself because they hadn't sent the notification to the surgeon yet. But, I think 7-10 days is average from the other posts I have read.

Lol then there's mine... I went through reassessment on Thursday last week and Wednesday this week the surgeon's office still has not submitted to the insurance company. They said I should know something within the next 2.5 weeks.... So based on what I've seen here and what they told me... Anywhere from 1 day to 2.5 weeks from submission to the insurance company.

Mine took about a week to get approved and the next available appointment at my surgeons office was a week after. I was hoping for a mid July surgery date but my surgeon was all booked up until August 2nd! I'm excited!

Hello All! I'm August 4th and I'm probably gonna have some kind of panic attack before then. :lol: lol! I've switched surgeons and subsequently procedure type all over the last month. It's been a long time coming I'm just ready to get this chapter of my life rolling.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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!
