I hate that I have never made a large claim with insurance ever. Only my minimal doctors visits for check ups. And now when I actually want to have them pay for 4400 of it they are making me jump thru hoops!

I've probably paid them thousands of dollars and this is just ridiculous.

I'm sorry if I'm just bitching on here but I'm really pissed off :/

I don't blame you, I'd be pissed too. It's ridiculous to me that people can pay thousands and thousands of dollars for insurance coverage they hardly use, but once they actually need it, they get nothing but grief or even denied. It's complete crap.

Keep fighting them and don't give up!

I feel the same way about home owners insurance. Paying premiums for 40yrs with never a claim and paying 3 times what I use too. Rrrrrrrr

Sorry you're aggravated, but not much we can do about it. I'm just please my insurance started paying for WLS. They didn't a few years ago. Had a lot of hoops too, but right now I'm really happy it all worked out. I had 6mths diet, nut classes, psych eval. Still had to pay my 20%,but now I losing it's all worth it and more.

In about 6mths going to hit them up for double knee replacement too.

Insurance premiums bite, but thank goodness its there when we need it.

I am with you... I have been paying insurance through my employer for 30 years... They would cover high blood pressure meds, diabetes if I had it and shoot even a heart attack but they wouldn't pay for me to get help losing weight. It's just a fact of life and i agree it stinks.

      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.

        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!
