They submitted my file on Tuesday the 22nd and I heard back from my surgeon's office yesterday. My BMI was under 40, so I think thats why it took as long as it did. I've heard that others with BCBS-Fed hear back in 3 days, but like I said, I think its maybe because my BMI was under 40 and they had to review all the other tests/info. Good luck to you. Keep me posted!

Im with Coventry Advantra HMO, My packet got sent Tuesday April 29th. Insurance said it takes 24-48hrs but if they're backed up with claims then it could take up to two wks. I'm praying for surgery date sometime the end of May. Does anyone have Coventry Advantra Medicare?

      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!
