Waiting for insurance



Recommended Posts

I'm waiting on the insurance company to say yes for my surgery. I'm Staying positive.

I have Meritain insurance and they have you jumping through hoops so I'm just praying that everything is going to be OK.

I'm going through the bridges center in Tempe Az. and they told me you're probably be about 10 days before I would hear anything. Then I talked to my insurance company and they said that it had been turned into the 28th so it could be anywhere from 15 to 30 days to hear something.

I just hope I hear something soon because I'll have to pay another deductible in July. Wish me luck.

I'm starting to feel as though if the insurance company was going to approve the surgery I would have heard something by now.

Still don't know anything yet. Hopefully, it'll all be settled by Tuesday. I can't imagine they are working on Memorial Day.

Waiting for my insurance to approve me, I have uhc choice plus, how long does it take to hear back. Does having sleep apnea, hbp, high chlorestoral, spinal stenosis, diabeties and a body mass of 60 make them decide any faster. Can't stand the waiting. :( have completed every thing they require except for 6 month nutrition class only did 2 and my doctor thinks my paperwork should go ahead and be submitted.

      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!
