I have the Humana Silver PPO Plan/MS. I was told that my Insurance wouldn't cover my VSG. I spoke with my PCP about this and he let them know that's it's a medical necessity, for me to have WLS. I'm 44 years old, my height is 4'11, my weight is 279 and my BMI is 56.4. They told me that in September 15, 2015 a doctor called in saying that I needed surgery that I have never heard of. I'm in a ball of confusion. The Bariatric Coordinator, with actual surgeon who I'd like to do my surgery called them on yesterday. Humana had them to verify codes, the hospital, etc and said they'd let them know of a decision early on next week. Jesus, took the wheel a long time ago, but I'm not giving up!

Humana is very good at approving as long as you've met all of their requirements. They don't play games like some insurance companies (Aetna!!!).

      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.

      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!
