I'm in Michigan, too. My paperwork was sent into Insurance on Jan 17th, I still haven't heard back. :'( I'm hoping to hear back asap!

I keep calling my insurance company. I know they are probably tired of it but I'm anxious. Lol Hopefully we all get our approvals soon. where are you getting your procedure done?

You're not the only one anxious! I haven't called my insurance company, but I do login to my account several times a day to see if there's anything new. I see an authorization for the hospital, but that's all. Each day I wake up hopeful that I'll get that approval call.

My file was submitted to insurance 4 business days ago, after reading a lot of forums and support groups, I called the insurance line today. They said they are waiting for medical records from the doctor. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Guess who has a voicemail waiting for them tomorrow morning, my referral/insurance coordinator. We are about to be best friends.

I didn't know you could call your insurance to find out the status. So I just called and they said I need to ask my provider/doctor. I'll call tomorrow. I'm in Kalamazoo and that's also where i'll be getting my surgery. I hope everyone hears back soon. I'm really looking forward to getting my surgery date. Y'all should post here when you get your dates, too!

Oh no! I feel like I should call for mine but I don't want them getting tired of me calling every day. I just want to know already! Praying we will get our approvals soon.

I called my insurance once again this morning and was told that I will have an answer by February 6th. Apparently my file gets reviewed by a nurse before approval. Yayyyy!!!! I marked my calendar!

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
