I have Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and my claim was submitted last week. I am still in shock! My weight is 235 and my height is 5'4". I should also mention that I have high blood pressure so I'm sure that had a lot to do with it.

I also have Anthem Blue Cross (***, California) -- did either of you have to do 6 months of supervised dieting? If no, did you have to submit any kind of proof that you had had unsuccessful dieting in the past? Hoping I won't have a difficult, lengthy process...

I have the same insurance too, and would love to know exactly what your doctor had to submit for you. Congrats on the quick approval! I so hope mine is quick once submitted.

      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!
