I had my surgery 2 days ago. Im really sore. I didnt know I would feel this way. I ate cream of mushroom soup last nite and felt really sick. I am scared too eat anything else. I have been drinking slimfast shakes. My stomach is so swollen. I also had a hiatal hernia.
Well my surgery is scheduled for Wed. but I went for lab work last Wed. and they said my potassium was dangerously low. So I went back the next day and they redid my blood test and said it was up a grunt but still way too low. I am supposed to go back tomorrow and see if it has come up over the weekend. If not my surgery will be postponed. Then today I find a letter from my insurance company saying that they will not cover the surgery because my doctor is not a preferred surgeon. I am starting to feel that Im not meant to have this surgery.
I know I should be excited about the surgery but I find that the closer it gets the more nervous I get. I got to meet the surgeon for the 1st time Thursday and I broke down crying. He told me that it was ok to be nervous that it means I am really thinking about this decision because it is a big decision. I have never done well with change, good or bad. I guess it has taken me so long to get to this point that everything is starting to sink in. But I do know that it will be worth it in the long run.:thumbup:
