To be honest I'm not sure all of my paperwork has been submitted yet. Completed about 1/2 of my required apps. But the surgeon scheduled my surgery date already and I have all my doctor visits scheduled to be completed by March 7th.

When was all your paperwork submitted to the insurance company and how soon after did you get your surgery date



About 2 weeks after.

It took almost 3 weeks to submit between my doctor and surgeon. However it only took about 3 business days to get approved after that.

My Surgeon office won't give me a set until I get the approval. I didn't go through his office for any appointments. I did everything on my own and once I did everything that my insurance required to get the surgery, I looked on line for the surgeon I wanted set up an consultation had all the labs results , psyc eval, and 6 month visits faxed to him. They were impressed too. Called me on 2/8 and said they faxed everything to insurance on2/7. I went on line to see if they did I see they have everything. I called insurance today they said give them 10 days

      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.

        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!
