Submitting to insurance tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

My surgeon's office will be sending my stuff to the insurance company tomorrow. I will be on pins and needles waiting to hear back. I am still hoping to get a July surgery date.

Good Luck! I hope you hear back soon. I am in the same situation, but my clinic messed up and didn't submit it on the 18th like they were supposed to, so now they are trying to push it through.

Good Luck!!

Never mind, I was told today that my file is "in line to be submitted by the first of next week". I am so beyond mad because they told me 2 weeks ago they would submit today,

I think they just tell us what pops into their heads at the time. To heck with the clinic, I called the insurance company today and they did confirm they had everything and I should hear back by Monday, Tuesday at the latest since it is a long weekend. The planned date for the surgery is July 15, so maybe we will all go in at the same time!

If the dr hasn't submitted to the insurance yet I can't call and bug the insurance. :(. I sent another email asking if we could at least schedule my surgery contingent on insurance approval. We will see what they say.

Me to. I am in the exact boat as you. Waiting to hear. It was submitted 7-1-15. They did give me a surgery date of August 10th pending approval. Good luck!

I got an email today that said it would be submitted at the beginning of next week. It will be a miracle if this happens before I go back to school the middle of August! Ugh!

      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!
