Sending positive thoughts your way. I am finally at the end of my six month supervised time for Aetna. My thyroid was one point to high and I've had to take thyroid meds for the last month before we can submit because dr.'s office said insurance will turn it down unless thyroid is in normal levels. Getting checked in the morning hope levels are good :)

Me too! My paperwork was submitted to Aetna on the same day, October 16th. I called Aetna today and I am still in review. They said they have a 14 day window to approve or disapprove. (They better hurry up, I am supposed to be scheduled for October 31st, I hope it doesn't get delayed!

Yeah they said mine was still in review also!!!! I really hope it doesn't take the full 14 days!!! The surgeons office put that my surgery date was 10/24/12....I guess that is just an estimated date.

Well once they submit it takes 48 hours just to make a file, at least that's what happened to me. I'm hoping it doesn't take the full time frame because a lot of people on the forum said there's was approved quickly.

      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!
