How long did it take your insurance company to approve you for a surgery date? I have completed all the necessary steps and it has all been submitted. Just haven’t heard anything yet on a surgery date and I am impatient!!

It took my surgeon’s office nearly a month to submit to insurance smh. About a week after they submitted my file I received a call to pay my copay for the surgeon’s fee to proceed with scheduling my surgery.

Once they received it, it took about 2 business days

I was told it would take around two weeks. It took exactly two weeks to the day to hear.

Mines took 1 day, I went online and checked my Insurance ID account and saw the approval letter the next day, before they mailed it.

8 day insurance approval, I would say you got a pretty good insurance there.

I was happy and surprised it was that quick.. although I was approved on the 9th, it is now the 29th and I have not recieved a surgery date from my Dr. office.... I have paid the Dr. Pre-pays, have spoken to the hospital regarding their pre-pays, but still no date. I was told to wait until the nurse calls me.... I'm trying to remain in good spirits knowing I did get approval from my insurance, but the wait is killing me. [emoji58]

      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!
