Got approval.



Recommended Posts

My insurance finally approved me too late to get my surgery on Dec.26th as we had hoped. They did extend my approval through the end of January so I guess it will be sometime in January that I will get my surgery provided I can save up the extra needed funds in time for my surgery date. I was still not given a date. It depends on when my WLS surgeon gets the biopsy results of a spot in my throat from a different doctor. It was nothing . The doctor who did the procedure yesterday said so but my surgeon has decided he needs this. ( he had told me prior that this had no effect on my surgery what so ever then yesterday decided he needed to see the report when it comes back. before he can even schedule my surgery) I really just want to get this over with. I feel like nothing ever comes easy for me. Everything I set out to do is a major struggle. Does anyone else feel this way? Do you ever feel like you have to fight for every little thing for your self?

yes yes and yes, It finally all worked out. But I felt the same way. Had surgery canceled once, meanwhile pain came up, and ended up seeing a Gyno Doc at 11 on Tues for an ok to have surgery on Wed. I felt helpless in all of it. Just jump through hoops and it gets old. but eventually you are on the other side, I can't believe today has been a week post op already, this past week sure went faster than any of the weeks before.

      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!
