I got my insurance approval!!!!



Recommended Posts

The office called and left a message on my cell phone that said "Please call us regarding your insurance." Of course I was just SURE that it was going to be bad news or that they were going to tell me that I needed more tests or a letter of medical necessity (the ins. co. said i needed one and the Dr.s office said I didnt and submitted it with out the letter.) BUT to my surprise she said that my husband has wonderful insurance (glad she thinks so cause noone else seems to:)) and that I had approval and I would be receiving a letter in the next day or two. I was shocked, it only took 3 days for approval once it was finally submitted. So my official date is May 15th!!!! :clap2: I'm nervous and excited all at the same time!!

By the way, my insurance is Oxford Freedom Municipality in case you were wondering.

Congrats to ALL of you! I am still waiting for what I fully expect is the inevitalbe denial of my insurance request. However, that won't stop me because I am fully prepared to bite the proverbial bullet and self-pay (so what if I have to keep my car for another six years!). Every penny, nickel and dime will be money WELL SPENT, and Then SOME!

Losin'it (Cara): I was banded on April 17, 3 weeks ago this Tuedsday. The first week wasn't pleasant, but it was nothing to the tension of waiting for insurance coverage. One of the few times in my life I was nearly happy to tears was when I got that approval letter!

      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!
