Paperwork Submitted TODAY!!



Recommended Posts

Hi All!! I just wanted to tell my Lap-Band family that my paperwork is being submitted today for my 8/1 surgery. I just spoke to the nurse and she told me not to worry that all will be ok & my insurance company is pretty good as long as they have everything required (I have it all!)! PLEASE say a prayer for me that I get approved and that my nerves will subside until I do. I feel crazy!! Thanks for all your support...:tt1:

ugh I know what you are feeling i went through it a week ago. I was so nervous and sick I could not even sleep!!! But I was approved 2 business days later :tt1: Soooo just try to stay calm and try to think about something else to keep your mind busy and know if your denied you can ask your dr to do a peer to peer and if that doesnt work theres the appeal :tt1: congrats in advance!! My surgery is scheduled for july 16th wooohoooo

Good Luck! I had a sleep Study done, then 2 weeks later I called and left a message asking if my case had been submitted to my insurance. Next day, I got a call that not only had it been submitted, it had been approved in less than an hour! Gotta love TriCare Prime! Less than a month later, I'm going in for surgery tomorrow!!!

      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.

      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!
