I just got my approval after only 1 day since the paperwork was submitted! I am soooo excited that I'm jumping up and down!

Thanks for asking. I'm feeling better. Still a little sore. I think that's more from the hiatal hernia repair and the gall bladder removal though. I'm moving around better and getting in my fluids and Protein the best I can. My surgeon was very excited when he saw my gall bladder because he said it was in really bad shape, the worst he's seen. It's amazing what excites them.I chuckled at this. Surgeons find weird things funny. Glad you got all this done at once! Me too I was like if you're opening me up take everything out I don't wanna come back!!! Haha glad you're doing well. I mean you jumped back online and texted so you must be doing great!! Thank you. I am doing well. I go for my follow up tomorrow, so we'll see what they say.

I can't believe the day is finally here. I can't sleep. I wanted to sleep until 8:30 and I've been up since 5:30. I'm so hungry right now. I'll get through it though. These next 5 hours are gonna fly. See ya on the losers bench!

The only suggestion I can offer is to follow the instructions that you were given, since every surgeon has their own guidelines.

@@jane13 I'm doing pretty good. Feeling better every day. It gets easier each day to get out of bed. Yesterday I was very proud of myself. I made my dr's goals for protein and fluids! I'm quite impressed with that as it was only my 2nd day home!

If you are prone to anxiety it will probably happen, but you will get over it quickly.I am currently going through this with my sister in law, who is scheduled for surgery on Monday 8/17. I think it helped her that I instantly lost my hunger feeling. It was/is amazing.

Congrats! I remember how excited I was to hear that news, even though it wasn't that long ago. It'll be here before you know it.

I just got my phone call saying that my insurance did not approve it. I have BCBS FEP

@@LaLaLucy Good luck tomorrow!

what insurance do you have?

Good luck!

Going pretty good. Surgeon got backed up so I didn't go in until 2:45 and got out about 5:00. Had sleeve, hiatal hernia repair, and gall bladder removed. Walked once before they gave me some meds, then tried to sleep for night. Too much going on so I barely slept. Gonna need some more meds soon. And I'm starting to feel nauseous.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks @@jane13 and @@scarletwitch19 and @angela_graham

Good luck today. Mine is in 5 hours!

Mine is at 12:30pm. Good luck everyone!

I have a very large chest, so there is no such thing as going without a bra. lol I bought a soft, unwired, front close bra for surgery, as it will be difficult to close in the back or pull a sports bra over my head. Also the underwire will press on the incisions.

Mine is tmrw too.

Wow...an app for reminders I need that. What's the name of the app? If I may ask:) The one I have is called "take me". I haven't used it yet since I'm still pre-op for a short time.

Will they cancel my surgery because of a UTI?

Ok update: my PCP consulted with my surgeon. I have to go tomorrow morning to give another urine sample, then start antibiotics immediately. All is good for surgery. They are all ok proceeding as is. If it comes down to it they will give an antibiotic shot before the procedure. Hooray I'm good to go. BTW thanks for all of the responses. My anxiety has now settled.

Well this was the PCP's office that was freaking out. They already sent my clearance before that. The urine was taken during pre surgical testing at the hospital. The hospital called and gave me my arrival time and procedure time, so it seems that they are not worried. I also have no symptoms. So my fingers are crossed. I have to arrive at 10:30 for a 12:30 procedure.

My PCP called me today to tell me about it. It was discovered during pre-surgical testing. I am waiting all friggin day for the dr to call me back. No antibiotics yet as I haven't heard from him. Surgery is scheduled for Monday 8/10. Freaking out here.
