Hi kqtqueen, Hopefully you are feeling better by now. I'm also 27 however I'm a year out. I recall the pain being terrible and thinking the exact same thing you did/are. Where in Arizona are you? You can PM me if you'd like as I am in Arizona as well. Best of luck hope things have gotten better for you!

Thanks so much for this great idea bunnyK! I went and ordered one from kohls today can't wait as I always forget to take my colace and have issues this will be much more nutritious and fun.

Syntrax nectar iced tea is my life saver! Not ready to drink, but easily enough!

Mine was laparoscopic and I have 5 incisions. 3 very small maybe 1/2 an inch and 2 larger ones about an inch long and they were closed with dermabond so no bandages. I did not have a JP drain but I have read that some do, surgeons preference I suppose.

Get em girl! Insurance companies want you to give in and give up but I'm glad you're not!! I made sure with my insurance every single form/paper they wanted and I made sure I had copies of each, my surgeons insurance ladies (while VERY nice) could be forgetful... I wasn't having any of that...

Yeah congrats!! I found out Friday I was approved too but boy has it been a busy weekend and now week! Go us!!!

I was approved today!!!! Yay!!

Good luck!! Hope it doesn't take long because from experience the waiting is miserable! Tomorrow will be 3 weeks or 15 business day and I SHOULD have an answer! My ins coordinator doesn't seem like the type to be pushy or on the phone calling them very much but she said if I don't hear tomorrow she will... We will see.. I'm getting discouraged

Wow congrats!! You look amazing!!

I am still waiting I've been calling like everyone says to do but basically have been told to stop calling because it wont help haha! They have to give an answer by next Thursday that will be 15 days. But it has been torture!

I would call... the RN case manager was surprised that I had already done so much without calling Optum first. Not that anything wasn't already authorized, but my employer suggested contacting insurance asap to get in the system and have my RN assigned to me. I just like to be ahead of the game because i'm so excited! And I could always call my nurse with questions without bothering the surgeons staff because that's what she was there for

Drmbig my surgeon is the same way, he likes to have another final appointment before the go ahead so it must be preference. Thanks for the info! Congrats on your approval! Khloe what insurance do you have? Good luck!

Thank you so much! I am either way being positive! It won't be the end for me that's for sure!

I was submitted today! Just curious I see a lot of people already have dates set for surgery before approval, is that normal? I can't do anything until the ok from insurance, which is basically just my sleep study and surgery date. I'm so excited and nervous!
