Hello I am a newbie, just joined scheduled for gastric sleeve sept 8 17. I have Aetna, it took a month and half for me however, I was already approved with my previous insurance but we lost that insurance in April. We got insurance in June and I resubmitted the information for Aetna.

Thank you and good luck, hopefully they approve you much quicker. And I know what you mean about the weight. Been trying to get sleeved for a year now. But getting pregnant 2 weeks before last surgery, losing insurance early this year...Was approved by blue cross then lost insurance and got Aetna. The wait has been maddening. Hope it's must shorter for you. Good luck.

I have AETNA info submitted August 8th and by August 11th I was denied. My surgeons office did not submit my august visits so they said I didn't meet the requirements. Talked to Drs office today and they are resubmitting the correct info. Waiting is killing me. What happened with yours?

      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!
