I called my insurance yesterday (6/10) and got the run around. They told me that they are still showing nor authorization and that my surgeon's office has to call the insurance medical management team. My surgeon's office mailed the request for predetermination letter to ins. on 6/2 so I will wait until Monday, call again and then go from there. I am so anxious though. I just want to know NOW so I can get my surgery scheduled.

i completely understand the anxiety you are having just waiting to hear the great news. I'm so thankful we go on vacation tomorrow or else i think i would literally make myself sick with worry about "if I don't get approved." I already talked to my husband and told him i think it will crush me if i don't get approved, he simply said you cant let it crush you we will get this done one way or another. It rocks having your best friend stand beside you through all the trails of life:) I know that Monday seems eons away but I will keep you in my prayers. all the best to you

      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!
