Called insurance yesterday they received my paperwork and are reviewing everything. How often should I call and check in status?

Furby, I am in the same boat as you. I have been calling weekly. Someone else suggested to me to call every three days. I know we are all anxious for the news, but I think there is a balance to consider. After all, if we keep them tied up, how can they review our files and others? Maybe a compromise of every 5 calendar days?

Good luck to you and hope time passes quickly for you!

Just an FYI, the person at the insurance that checks on the statis is not the one/s that are determining whether or not to approve you, so it won't slow the process down by calling. It just might not speed it up either. I work in a medical practice and have to deal with insurance on a daily basis, so believe me, I know...lol

Good luck to you :) Hope a yes answer comes quickly for you!

      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!
