Guess WHAT?????



Recommended Posts

After driving the insurance coordinator at my Dr.'s office, my insurance company, my best friend, my husband and myself crazy for the last week in anticipation of possible declination of coverage... I finally got confirmation today that I am APPROVED!!!! Yeah!!!

I am so excited I can barely stand myself. I called my surgeon's office to set up my next appointment and schedule a surgery date but no one has called me back yet. I am sure I am in more of a hurry than they are but hopefully in the next couple weeks I will have a banding date!!!

I will keep everyone in my prayers who is waiting for approval and those of you who are fighting appeals.

I got my cardiac testing results back today and thanks to God they were normal. Tomorrow morning my medical doctor will be faxing the support letter and the last month notes to my six month supervision diet. They will then send this into my insurance company. She said it usually takes 3 to 5 days for an answer. Next will be a surgeon appt and set a date. It is getting close. I am having happy and sad feelings. Congratulations on all of your approvals and date scheduled. :redface:

That's great Tracie. :D

My paperwork was just sent to my insurance (Carefirst BCBS) this week and I'm in the waiting phase now. It's very reassuring to hear from folks like yourself that have been approved. I hope that I get my great news in the next couple weeks!

I look forward to seeing your progress and hope I'll be progressing right along with ya (lol) :crying:

      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!
