Recommended Posts

It only took a week and one day to get approved! I am amazed, excited, scared, and relieved all at one time!

I did the three month multi program, and I guess I jumped thru enough hoops for them!

Now, I need to get that surgery date!

HAve a great day all!

Jodi,

Congrats!

I am also an Aetna three monther (in the middle of it). I saw you had two psych evals - I did not see where Aetna required those in the rules. I did have one that is mandated by my surgeon.

Did they question anything?

Thanks

Gracie Mae:confused:

Tomorrow will be one week and one day and I was thinking of calling. Did you call them? ( I have Aetna and did the 3 month program too). I was worried if I should call or not.

Congrats again...your on your way!

I love Aetna! I had my approval back in 4 days and I was just banded yesterday. They let me stay one night in the hospital and my doctor said he prefers his patients to stay overnight. I loved that morphine button, even though I have to admit the pain is almost nothing! I really found this to be easier than my gall bladder or tubal surgeries.

Congrats and good luck!

Thanks to all the congrats guys!

Gracie Mae....I only had to do the two psych evals because my surgeon requires that. I really wouldn't of had to do any, according to Aetna.

And yes, I did call, a total of three times I think. I wouldn't even know now if I hadn't called yesterday. The ins rep at the docs office is on vacation this week, so no one from my docs office has even called me! Hmmm....seems like they would check her messages, I think I will call them today.

OK, I have to get ready for work! Grrrr, I want a stay at home job! If I could just go to work in my jammies....hehehe :)

Have a great day all!

Jodi

      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!
