Recommended Posts

As stated, I just joined the community, and I looked through some of the pages and I havent found an answer to my question...

Has anyone dealt with Anthem BCBS Lumenos of Wisconsin with this procedure? Last time I talked to them they werent very friendly and told me that everything I needed to know was listed on thier site, which I guess could be there but of course I didnt find it.

Any help would be appreciated :scared2:

First of all, welcome!

I would probably post this under the Insurance / financing board...and make the title "Anthem BCBS Lumenos of Wisconsin." I think there is a better chance of someone reading it who has dealt with the insurance company there.

As far as insurance company's go, you just have to try to speak to a different person. Ask them if it's covered under your policy, that you know each policy is different, and if they direct you to the website, tell them you are having trouble finding an answer to your question there. I hope that helps!!!

I agree with ccweeks above...post this in the isurance & financing forum and you might get more direct help. my brother is using BCBS federal emplyees program and they do in fact cover lapand and followup. i also know that there are many users on this site that have used BCBS with great success, but there are just so many different types of BCBS it is difficult to sift through any differences between them.

keep looking and certainly call them directly and ask. good luck!!

      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!
