  1. Btw besides the obvious swelling gas associated pain my portal feels like it protrudes more than the other insisions plus also seems to give me the most overall pain. Veterans is this normal??
  2. The surgery was well surgery. Naturally it sucked but no complications.. they treated my pain with mostly morphen sent me home with liquid lowertab antibotics and mega nausea meds which im soo thankful for. Im 3 days post op now still on a clear liquid diet, not so much hungry as the thought of just eating makes me feel like chown down.. But weve came this far theres no going back now so keep up the good work support is always good in hArd situations like these!
  3. Tomm will be three days post op for me after a already long journey. Ive made it this far it can only go up from here right? I know I hve a long way to go but im not stopping now! Wondering any other ppl banded in Apr? Athough veteran advice and encourgement is always welcome!
  4. If you dont mind me asking what wss your beggining/now weight?

  11. Congrats I find out if my insurance approves around the 1st of march! Im soo nervous it wont go threw!
  12. Congrats. You look great! You are an inspiration to all those with the surgery. I would like to friend u in fb?
  13. My insurance goes for approval at the end of the month. Im soo nervous in need of ppl who have had the surgery for advice and support! Preferably women.. No men plz! Looking to connect threw fb, its just easier! Any takers?
  14. It differs from state to state. I lived in N. Carolina where medicaid did not pay. Moved here to texas and this month will be my last mnth of supervised diet. They require that before approval. You sound like a canidate tho. Definately worth checkin out. What state do u live in?
  15. Andd this is the probably the 4th time ive heard about gawbladder removal. What gives? Surely its not a requirement is it?
  16. Congrats n good luck on ur surgery! I actually had some good luck today to. I was going to nix which is about 3 hrs from me but today i found a surgeon who accepts medicaid right here in my city of corpus! The lady is really nice and i go for the seminar sept 1st. That will be the beginning of a long process, but im more than ready. Lets do this ladies!
