Do not reschedule!! You will be fine. Everyone is different. Just go and see how it is for you. The worst thing that could happen is you have to reschedule for a different day if you can't tolerate the pain. Some people feel nothing!!' You can do this . It's worth it in the long run. It doesn't hurt to try. I will say a prayer for you. . Let me know how it goes. Just make sure to take whatever you take for pain like ibuprofen or Tylenol an hour before and make sure you eat something!! Good luck.

Hi guys. I'm pre-op and having survey Nov1st!! I was just creeping on all of threads and came across this one and thought maybe I could help you guys that have not had the IUD put in yet! I have worked in OB/GYN for 11 years. You can ask your doctor for a medication called Cervidil. It helps dilate your cervix so it's not so hard to get the IUD in. Or you can can ask for a paracervical block as well. Last but not least ask for the good stuff!! Hope that helps. Good luck.

Hi Loveelaura!! Sorry I can't help you. I don't go to support groups. My doctors office offers them but I don't go to them. I live in Yorkville and their office is in Downers Grove. Kind of a long drive!! ;(

Have any of you guys met Dr. Rosen?? I agree Dr. Mikhail has a great personality.

Congrats that's awesome. Where are you from?

No I did not take the first available, they wanted me to do it in Oct but I was too scared lol!!! Still a lil nervous. Don't be sorry for all of the ?'s I'm excited too! I have lots for you too! I'm sure they will have something in November. Call Monday. I will try and private message you when I get home later so everyone doesn't have to keep reading about LW .

Hi Christine. Congrats on getting all of you requirements done. Are you an *** or a PPO? I am an *** and I met w the doctor my very first appt 7/29! The next appt 1 month later I had met all of my requirements and the said I could schedule my surgery! So yes they did schedule without prior approval from insurance company!! When was your first visit w them? Where are you from?

Sorry guys I am new here and just learning how to post things!! Last post looks real stupid!! ;(. I will learn.

I'm November 1st. Excited and a tad nervous. But ready for the real journey to begin. Hi Tabbatha, I am Nov 1st as well!!! Good luck to you. When do you start your pre-op diet?

Hi guys! I'm having my surgery done at Good Sam as well on Nov 1st!! Who is your surgeon?? Mine is Dr. Rosen.

So my surgery is Nov 1st and I started this whole process the end of July. My doctor put me on a low calorie diet and exercise and I have lost 30lbs since. I started out at 249. I had to gain weight to get my BMI to 40 so my insurance would approve the surgery since I have no other problems. Now that I have lost this weight people are telling I should postpone the surgery, that I'm not that heavy and I should try again on my own!!! I am 40 years old and I truly feel like I have tried long enough of yo-yo dieting and I ready to start a new chapter in my life. I'm just wondering if any of you guys still feel like there's still a chance to do this on your own? Or are all of you 100% about this surgery no turning back? I'm excited, nervous and I feel like I'm making the right decision but it's hard when people put their two cents in ;(

Good luck to all of you!! Mine is scheduled for Nov 1st in Downers Grove Il.
