Update on my 8/1 surgery...

I was really sore yesterday and so glad to come home from the hospital! I have to say today is the best day so far...took a shower, had some drinkable light yogurt and Unjury chicken soup.

Tip...definitely stay on top of your pain medicine, walk, and use your heating pad!

Glad you are doing well thanks for the tips Does you DR have you on full liquids already? I noticed the light yogurt

Aargh! The office called and moved me back to 8/10! I was all geared up for the 8th!

I'm sorry:( But you won't be alone....I am being banded on the 10th too;)

Glad you are doing well thanks for the tips Does you DR have you on full liquids already? I noticed the light yogurt

Yes, full liquids for 2 weeks.

All my paperwork was submitted for approval today. I am a nervouse wreck I may not hear anything until real close to my August 15th surgrey date. I have jumped through every hoop that insurance has required. I had to do the 6 month weight management, maintain a BMI of 40+ and have 2 years worth of weight records through a Dr. Although I have done it all the thought of denial weighs heavy in the back of my mind. Does anyone else have ODS or had to do the 6 month weight management? I have waited 9 long months for this and to have come this far and be denied would be devastating. I'm usually a very positive person and I am truly trying hard to just let my mind rest but it's so hard. Anyone have any advice, input, similar experience?? Help!! I'm making myself crazy!!
