Flight home was not too bad...about 4.5 hours for me. I picked the window seat only because I hate middle aisle seats. The aisle or exit seat would provide more leg room. I had cramping the entire flight but ES Tylenol worked well. Good luck:)

I had a great experience there in September. The staff was great and knowledgeable (most had the procedure at Blossom). Good luck next week!

Im scheduled for next week but can surely agree with the pre op diet worries. I have modified my diet since July when I scheduled but as soon as the two weeks approached I wanted everything I shouldn't have. I find that I do best when I follow a full liquid diet and not incorporate meat and veggies....I don't know why that is but on those days I do liquids and will have cottage cheese. When I try the meat and spinach I always become tempted to add other foods. I wish you well with your surgery.

This is awesome and very reassuring to hear. The entire process takes place over the phone and online. It is kind of unsettling that I won't meet surgeon until I'm thousands of miles away from home. I'm sure I upset the coordinator because I asked repeatedly what happens if I get there and surgery is not done. lol. October can't come fast enough I bet lol. I started the planning process in July so I am more than ready to get this done....It has been hard not snacking these past two weeks.

Thanks for the well wishes. I do believe out of pocket cost is determine on insurance coverage although I'm not sure as it was not really explained.

They request your insurance information and then provided you with a quoted cost for procedure. I am not sure how it is calculated as someone told me they were quote 4000 more than I was. I think your insurance's out of network benefits play a part in that.

That is awesome! Sounds like recovery was a breeze.

How did surgery go for you? I am scheduled there in 2 weeks.

Yes it was

Sorry for late response. Yes I am scheduled for September through fast track program. I’ve set up everything so far online, received a written quote, and all education and consent is done online. I had to email flight arrangements. I still feel skeptical lol not sure why.

I am scheduled for vsg 9/25 through fast track program.
