Totally agree with you on all fronts. It's maddening.

once you get all your ducks in a row, the approval process is fairly quick (around 2 weeks), but it can take a while to do all the stuff required by your insurance. For example, my insurance requires a 6 month diet documented by a doctor or nutritionist.

I am at basically my one week surgiversary, too!!! isn't it just amazing how quickly our bodies are recovering?! I still have some minimal pain, but otherwise doing great!! Yay for us!

glad you are feeling better! I am on the same trajectory. I felt pretty craptastic on day 2, and day 3 a bit better, but today is for sure the best yet! Honestly, considering I just had surgery, I feel pretty good. I got a little cocky and cut off the pain meds today. Turns out that was a bit too early. So, it's back to the Vicadin for now... Keep up the great work! Hugs!!

I'm not sure if this is still relevant, but I also agree with the folks who say we should take all the meds we need. It's temporary, and we won't need them for long. We'll get though this phase!

Hey there, Amber! I hope your surgery went well today!!! Just wanted to you to know we are cheering you on!

WAY TO GO!!!!! Keep us posted on your progress!

Thank you for sharing! Really, your description of how you are feeling makes me so glad I made this choice. I am still pre-op, but I every time I read a blog entry like this, I feel so happy. Thank you!
