  1. Congratulations!
  2. Best wishes! I had the surgery on Friday, and I'm already feeling better.
  3. I came home yesterday and it feels so great to be home. The second night after surgery was rough but it's much better now. I'm just really sore. I also had a large hiatal hernia repaired.
  4. The surgery went well. I've already walked in the hallway. I also had a hernia repaired. Thanks for the prayers and kind words.

  6. My surgery is tomorrow at 11:00. I'm super nervous.
  7. I pray your surgery goes well! Mine is Friday, the 20th. I'm a little nervous.
  8. I'm on day 6 of my clear liquid diet--nothing but broth, sugar free jello and Popsicles, and 3 protein shakes a day. I'm starving!!! Lol. I'm really looking forward to my surgery Friday, though. I'm a little nervous about the pain, but super thrilled to have a chance to be healthier and feel better about myself. With God's help, this is going to be a success!!!!
  9. I'm on day one of my 10 day liquid diet, and I'm starving! Goodness, I hope it gets a little easier. I'm looking forward to my surgery the 20th. :-)
  10. Thanks everyone. I'm very excited but a little scared, too!
  11. My surgery is scheduled for July 20th! Woo! Hoo!
  12. Goodness! I hope I don't have to wait that long.
  13. Visits with my primary care physician (family doctor)
  14. My requirements were: 6 consecutive pcp visits, nutritionist appt, and psych evaluation. I've not had any issues so far. I'm hoping and praying it gets approved quickly.
  15. Thanks. If I haven't heard by Tuesday, I'll call them.
  16. I've completed my 6 of 6 pcp appointments as well as the psych and nutritionist appointments. My paperwork was submitted to Blue Cross Blue Shield Highmark yesterday. Does anyone know how long it takes to find out if I'm approved?
  17. Thanks, Lynn.
  18. Oops! Sorry! I have a typo. I changed what I was saying and left "feel" in there. Lol.
  19. I go to my 6th of 6 pcp appointment on July 5th, so I'm also hoping to have my surgery by mid to late July. I teach so I want to feel be recuperated before I go back to school in August. I've already had my nutrition and psych appointments, so I'm hoping I'll be all set. Good luck to you!
