Where do I began

I have been on this journey since March 13, 2017. I started off with 2 insurance companies Cigna as primary and Ct Husky A as secondary only to find out in late July that Husky cut me off April 30 due to my son turning 18 the following month so the whole time Im thinking I would be 100% covered if Cigna doesn't pay for it completely... I have my date for surgery which is OCT 19,2017.. I been back and forth on the phone the live chats online with cigna to get a better understanding on what they will pay and what i would have to pay. My deductible is met and i have a remaining $3,030 for my out of pocket to be met, not too worried because i still have a few doctor appointments left, so i know the out of pocket will be met... My plan will pay the IN-Network contracted rate amount 100% im just happy the the Surgeon and facility are both in-network.....

Hi! Just be sure to keep documentation of your conversations with your carrier. Jot down date of calls, rep spoken with and their answers. Cigna may have an online employee portal you can access to see what your benefits are. I'm in CT too! Hi!

Good luck! xo

      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!
