I looked on my insurance company's website Thursday and saw that I am approved!

What comes next? Do I get a call from them or my surgeons office? Do I pick my own date? Do I get a print out of surgery costs and wats covered and paid outta pocket?

I kno everyone's experience is different but I'd like to hear a few of wat happened after u got ur approval.

Thanks.

I didn't need approval, but I still had to go through the punches set by my surgeon. I called my doctor to see where my case was and get my date. They called me back a couple days later with my date of 6/21, preop visits to the NUT, surgical nurse, and financial officer, and my pre op surgeon visit and three post surgical appointments.
Everyone's experience is different. Call them on Monday and ask your questions. Most offices will get you answers.
Take care! Good luck on your journey and keep us posted.

      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!
