I am also waiting on insurance approval, I know that the Doctors office has sent in everything that I needed. When I talked to my insurance company yesterday they said they had all documents and there is a 3 business day decission period. Hopefully I will hear something by the end of this week. Hope you hear soon.

i think its heartless that insurance takes their sweet time to come to a decision

they should put themselves in another mans shoes

for any surgery at all in your life - insurance shouldn't drag their feet between their legs - how would they like the wait for an answer

good luck to you both - and all others who are waiting too for approval

It takes just about forever, doesn't it?

Try and keep busy, it will make the time go faster.

I hope they call you soon!

Basically it's the insurance company hedging their bets. They are hoping that you will die before they have to shell out for the surgery. Make sure you WIN at their game! My six months is over, my surgery is Monday. The six months will pass soon enough!

The anxiety of finally getting through the 6 months then waiting on a blood test to see about h-pylori and submitting to insurance was too much for my tummy

I threw up at work and had to come home. My nerves are shot

      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'. ???

        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!
