Wooohooo! Jumped through my last insurance hoop today!



Recommended Posts

Well everyone...I made it through the pysch evaluation today. After 567 questions I started questioning my sanity...just kiddin! :) This evaluation is the last insurance hoop, now for my Dr.'s office to send in the request. My insurance company told me it takes from 3-10 business days to make a decision so I'll take all the crossed fingers/toes and prayers anyone could throw my way! I continue to remind myself that there SO many people in my same exact position within our new journey of life and think of everyone often! I'm truly starting to feel like I'm taking back control of my life! Woooohooooo!

Congrats! I finished mine last week. Insurance has had my request from the doc for 8 days! I'm about to go crazy! Doc said not to worry he was sure I would be approved. But still...

Good luck!!! Just when you think you've got it all lined up, insurance will throw you a curve ball. They did to me today!! Told me the supervised diet I did last year is too old and now I have to do another 3 mo supervised diet!!! Here I was thinking I would be approved today and be making my surgery date but no.....

So, I wish you all the best and hope you don't go through what I'm going through!!! Please keep us posted!!

      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!
