Change in insurance



Recommended Posts

After seminar, consult and 2 nutritionist appts, my company is switching insurance companies and that office is not covered. Now I have to switch Drs and not sure if I need to start all over. Has anyone had experience with this?

It will be up to the surgeon's office and the insurance company, but it might be possible to transfer the records and have it count. But the requirements could all be different - email the insurance and email the approved surgeon and ask - that way you at least have it in writing.

Good idea. I'm going from Oxford to Aetna. I know a few people who have used the Aetna approved Dr and love him. If I have to start over again, I only did two nut visits so at least I wasn't at the end then had to switch. I just don't want to do seminar again.

Not that this would be an issue for you, but just kind of an fyi.... I have Aetna and u cant have any net gain of weight at all during the 6 mos. (I didnt know if you had a chance to look through or see all the specifics.) Idk why, but its my worse fear that im gonna show up to the last of my visits and somehow be like .5 lbs over or something.... lol I'm a worrier.

Just figured it was better to know now, incase it was transferable. Good luck 😊

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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?
