  5. It will get better.Congrats
  6. From what I heard there maybe a doctor coming your way in the next few months.The first thing I would do is see what your insurance requirements are.
  7. Thanks for sharing your journey.
  8. Yes I have heard also that you can do a 3 month multidisciplinary diet.I had no problems with Aetna approval process.See my signature line.The case manage assigned to me was very helpful.She called to check on me preoperatively and postoperatively.I wish you the best with getting things approved.
  9. I agree that you need to sip.I hope it gets better for you.
  10. That is awesome.I had my surgery on the 15th.I don't regret it at all.This is an awesome support page.
  11. I had my hernia repaired also.I am just sore from where the port and the incisions are.It does hurt for me to cough.I was banded on Tuesday.The pain is much better on today.
  12. I have my port in my chest area too.You can't tell its there unless you run your hands across it.I have an incision under my armpit.
  13. I was banded on the 15th.I have not been able to get 64 ounces in yet.I am sipping all day on a combination of liquids which also include broth.I think that is normal.I am chewing a kids multivitamin also.
  14. That is good to hear.I had my surgery on the 15th.I am feeling much better.I am just a little sore.
  15. I don't think it is a waste of time.If you can afford it,get it done.

  17. I was at the hospital this morning at 6:30am.I was home by 11:00am.I was treated like a queen by my hospital coworkers.I am sore and full of the famous air everyone has.I am taking gas x and walking.I am trying to hold off on the pain meds until bedtime.I have no regrets.The docotr took every precaution to help me not be nausea.I took a pill this morning when I left the house that last 48 hours.The put a paptch behind my ear that last 3 days.The gave me plenty of Zofran IV and I have a prescription of it.They put this braclet on my wrist that press on my pressure point that helps with nausea.I am excited about my new birthday.I am looking forward and not behind.My 8 year old has taken care of his momma today.He has given me sips of fluid and spoon fed me jello.I will keep you posted on my progress.
