Surgery & recovery went great!!! I was surprised that there was minimal pain. Hang in there I know Aetna will approve you. Maybe try giving them a call to check the status!

I have Aetna and they approved me the first time my doctor office submitted it. They gave me no troubles. I was scared because I didn't lose weight during my 6 months. I have mild high blood pressure so I don't kno if they based it on that. My surgery is 11/8/12. Good luck

I just finished my six months (i only lost a couple of pounds) and my surgeons office submitted my paper work to Aetna Friday (11-2-12) so I am waiting to see if I'm approved. I am 5' 3" 210 pounds and am pre diabetic, my blood pressure is slightly high, and my cholesterol is high so I don't think there will be a problem but I am so stressed about it. Wish me luck :)

I think you will get approved for it, especially wit your health issues I honestly did lose any weight until after I was approved. It took bout a month to get it back. Call your insurance company and keep checking up wit them. I found out through them first before I found out wit my doctor office. Good luck and keep me 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.

        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!
