Nervous after reading about insurance denials!



Recommended Posts

So after going through some of these post I'm super nervous and confused as to how after meeting initial requirements and getting the clearances can your insurance still deny you.??? Just makes me nervous for when I have to submit paper work. I would hate to go through 6 months of this for nothing.

They denied me at first saying I didn't have enough proof of being overweight for more than 3 years. My surgeon's office filed am appeal and I was approved 3 weeks later. Just please don't let it discourage u if u don't get an approval at first. I did and I gained 10 lbs back only to be approved the second time. If I regret anything, it's letting that disapproval get to me. Good luck and no worries.

Wow congrats I'm very excited for this journey for sure...its just the thought that after I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off to get things done lol...but there's still no guarantee my insurance won't give me issues..but I'm prayerful thanks for the kind words.

      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.

      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!
