My surgery is October 12th. I haven't received my approval yet. I'm on pins and needles waiting. The waiting is driving me NUT!!!! I emailed my doctor's office today. They contacted my insurance (Aetna) is still pending. The patient coordinator said if they haven't heard back from them today, they'll give them a call tomorrow morning. Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone else have Aetna? If so, where do you check on your member website if you've been approved? Would it say so in the tab for Communications under letters or messages?

I'm driving myself crazy. ????

I didn't get my surgery date until after I was approved. I didn't even get to see a surgeon until I had that approval in hand. hope you get your answer soon! Good luck!

It'll work out :) Think positive!

I have Aetna too so I'll have to play ball with them a bit as well. Could you tell me your process if possible what you did and when? Just want to compare. You can PM if you don't wanna post it under this topic.

      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!
