  1. Hello 3 week stall.....ugh!

  2. 3 days post op and I'm relieved to be over the nausea and pain. Now if I could only get my liquids and protein in.

      It'll happen, but maybe not in your first post-op week. Keep sipping and congratulations!

      Maybe try adding protein poser to some sugar free jello before you refrigerate it? Can you stomach that?

      I'm actually going to try that tonight. Hopefully that does the trick.

  3. I had no idea some hospitals require payment up front for surgery. My insurance pays 80% and the rest is up to me. They did give me a 25% discount for paying early :-)

      I did self-pay (long story), and I had to come up with about $750 to reserve a date, and then another $750 for my surgeon. Then the hospital required I pay the ~$13,000 up front. I'll be billed by the anesthesiologist later...

      My insurance paid 80% as well. I had to pay my 20% in full at my pre-surgery registration. I think that's the norm.

  4. This time next week I'll be under the knife. My nerves are starting to set in and this liquid diet is not helping.

      I went to bed at 9pm every right I was on the liquid diet.

      Good Luck. I'm on the liquid diet too, and I go to bed early. I've stopped people from eating in my face too. LOL. I will be right there with you on Dec 8th. You can do it, just think the reward will be greater in the end.

  5. Got off my plane yesterday and I had an email from my patient advocate saying I was approved! Now I'm just waiting patiently for the nurse to call me and schedule a date :-)
