Recommended Posts

Yesterday I got my letter of approval for the surgery. I was so happy. I call the Drs. office this morning to let them know I sent it over to them right away. How about they have not even called to say they got the fax or to even give me date for the surgery. Do they wait to call u days later for a date or what ? I am still happy about it. That took alot of work. They could have called me and said we are working on a date. I know they got it because I called to make sure.

I got approved. Guess what ? They still have not called to give me a surgery date. I called today while I was at work. They knew it was me because I left a message early this morning. I called again at 1:45 pm. She said she would call me back in 10 mins. Well she never called. Now I am wondering do I keep calling or wait till she calls me or if she calls me , now this is a different woman from the insurance coordinator. I feel like pulling my hair out. I wont to get this over with:cursing:

11/24/08 You want to talk about pulling hair out? I did everything right with BCBSNJ and they just denied me.

Said I only had 5 visits and I had 6 visits, which was detailed in letter. I'm appealing. They're changing rules.

I'm devastated.

      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!
