Thx everyone. Awold, I'm glad to know I'm nit tge only one. I know it gets better, but I'm going back to work on the 10th...cant be doped up at work...lol. I contacted my MD & have an appt tomorrow. My largest incision is hard as a rock & just causing too much discomfort.

Hey everyone. I'm 12 days post op and still having some discomfort...enough to still need pain meds. Are there any suggestions on pain management or anything? When does the pain completely go away?

No. I'm scheduled 2/13

Hey, Ms. Patty. My eval consisted of a 20 min convo with the doc and a 566 questionnaire. The doc was asking questions like, "y have u decided 2 have surgery", "have u had mental health issues in the past or currently", etc. It wasn't bad, just redundant. No need 2 worry. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the responses. i have highmark BCBS. I'm going to call them and confirm. My coordinator is saying everything should be okay, but I'm not trying to get denied nor go through anymore hoops.

Thanks so much!!

Hello to u all. I'm new to this app so bare with me. I'm in the middle of my preop hoops and wanna make sure I'm doing everything correctly. My insurance requires 6 medically supervised dietitian/nutritionists visits. Crazy question, but do the visits have to be with a nutritionist/dietitian or can they be just with a primary care physician? Any responses will be helpful????
