    · Lively · 11/18/08 10:28 PM

    For those of you that know the story.:willy_nilly: I was approved a month ago :thumbup:n was scheduled for surgery on 11/10 :teeth_smile:but when the time came they noticed I was approved for Gastric By-pass :thumbs_down:n not Lap band:thumbs_up: so my paper work was resubmitted about a week n a half ago n still no re-approval:sad_smile:. I went from going almost there:smile: to not knowing when:cry_smile:. My surgeon's nurse said more than likely we are looking at the 2nd week of January:unsure: (which is right after my 27th B-day:thumbup:) I guess New Year n New life in 2009:confused:. God I just want to hear that I am approved again:bored: n I will feel alot better. After that I could wait till Jan without a problem. At least I will be able to enjoy the holidays comfortably:blush:.
  3. I am a big baby :crying:when it comes to pain. I just got a toothache that I thought I was going to die. They gave me the worst pain medicine:thumbs_down: in the world, which lead to 8 hours of insanity. After feeling better.. (I took without even thinking about my life- 4 mortin 500, 4-tynenol 500, 4-naproxen 400 and the pain continue, until I took an oxy-codine :thumbup:that a friend gave me.:bored:I know I know this was bad but I waited n waited n the pain was still there.:willy_nilly:) Well This got me thinking I cant deal with pain well n I need to know whats the best pain medicine for after surgery. I dont want to be given something not strong enough for me. Please let know your opinion. PLEASE!
  4. I know it sounds silly but I am really concerned about the pain that I will feel after surgery. I usually dont do well with pain n I am scared of the pain. I had a c-section about 6 yrs ago n it wasnt so bad, I mean it hurt but by the 5th day I was good to go. I know again it sounds silly but want to hear the peoples thought...:willy_nilly:
  7. I cant wait anymore. I shouldnt have to wait anymore. When will I get re-approved. I cant believe they messed up some code:confused_smile: Why is it that I feel like if I get this surgery my life will turn around, like it will begin again but this time better:crying:

  8. Waiting to get a surgery date

    · Lively · 11/14/08 03:07 PM

    :w00t: I was approved for my surgery about a month ago. My surgery date was scheduled to Nov 9,2008 but the doctor hadnt finalized all the paperwork with the new hospital he would be working out of; so they rescheduled to the 25th which wasnt so bad even if I was upset about it. :wub: But yesterday they called me to reconfirm everything when they noticed that my insurance had coded me ok for gastric by-pass not lapband. i couldnt beleive they made that mistake!:w00t: I was beyond upset but I couldnt do anything except now wait until all the paperwork is approved again with the right coding. I just cant beleive this but again this would only happen to me:crying: I need moral support. I have no idea when they will re-approve or if they even will. I cant believe I am going thru this waiting process again:cry_smile:
