Approved! Finally!!!



Recommended Posts

:rolleyes2:I FINALLY GOT APPROVED!!! I've been working on this since May 2007 and I just got approved! Yay!!!! I am so freakin' excited! I love this forum! I have learned so much here! My insurance company (Aetna) and my insurance coordinator didn't seem to speak the same language and there was nothing but total miscommunication for so long! I took matters into my own hands and obtained copies of my info yesterday and faxed it this morning and got a call back TODAY! I don't really know why the insurance coordinator is on the payroll at my doctor's office, but who cares-I'VE BEEN APPROVED. I'm hungry already:wink2:

I have so much support from my fiance' and this forum is just the cat's pajamas, so I can do this! Now I have to post a ticker and a picture and....wow! I'm so excited! So many of you have helped me with your posts and don't even know it. Thanks!

Good for you I have been going to True Results in Austin since Oct. doing the 3 months of dieting and phys. evaluation for the Atena approval what was the biggest problem that you had to get approved. They will submit the paper work on Jan 23 for approval. Then the wait starts.

DWH did you do another diet before the three month to get a total of six or just three months and that's it? I have been told you have to do a total of six months in the past two years.

No, just the just the 4 months with true results. Today was the last visit with them and they are sending it to Atena today, I will find out if it works or not.

Congrats. I have a problem with my doctor's office. They just don't seem to care whether I am approved or not. I got denied and after constantly hounding them they sent my appeal out to Aetna POS in December. I finally got aggravated and sent a letter to Aetna explaining why I felt I needed the surgery. They said to call the last week of January. So I am waiting again.

      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!
