OMG - Looks like I'm approved!



Recommended Posts

After submitting to my insurance, who said it had to go through my medical group, and then the medical group says it has to go though insurance (United Healthcare) looks like I might really be approved!!! My coordinator is confirming then hopefully I'll be able to schedule a date!!! Whoo-Hoo!!!! :rolleyes:

Oh no!!! Hang in there, that old saying nothing good comes easy will be true in this case. But so worth it, make sure you stay in the loop between doctors office and insurance.

Hang in there! I have UHC too, they were not very forthright with what was required, & it varies by the company its provided for. I had to dig up my company's SPD (summary plan discription) & drs office had to send with for approval. don't give up!

I'm really trying, my coordinator said they are NOT very user friendly!! One time you call they tell you one thing, the next time they tell you something else!! I don't even care that it's not approved yet, but dang it don't get my hopes up!!!

      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!
