I anticipated major pain....however I had NONE yes that is right NONE! good luck...and Welcome

I hope your surgery went well. I have not picked a doctor out yet. I went to a meeting at Presby and really liked the surgeon. But come to find out, I have to choose a dr with cmc. My insurance dosen't kicked in till May 1st, so I am hoping to at least go too couple more seminars and then choose.

@kjntwins,

About to leave for hospital in about an hour. If you are having to use CMC, I would highly recommend going through Carolinas Weight Management & Wellness Center. I am not sure who your insurance is with (I have Aetna). I was able to do everything with them. Because Aetna required a 4 month multi-disciplinary program, I was able to see the surgeon, weight doctor, fitness and nutritionist all at one place. They even have psych there for that evaluation. The staff is very professional & friendly. I would encourage anyone to attend their information session. Hope this helps:)
