Does anyone who has Aetna Insurance know where on website I can check the status of my approval? Does it show up as a pending claim where I usually see claims from doctor visits? I thought I read on one post that we can see online but maybe we can't.

I have BCBS but I don't think it's technically a claim but rather an approval so it most likely won't show up. I feel your pain with the wait! I am with you! Hang in there!

It probably is too late to help you, but Incase anyone else is looking, there isn't a way to check online for approval. I tried. What you have to do is call them and ask and have it checked. If you have an advocate(some employers provide this liaison to help expedite the process for their employees) then they can get things going faster.

How long did your approval take?

      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!
