Is it too early to start an April thread? I didn't see one yet.

I'm scheduled for April 22. I still have to finish PCP clearance and psych then insurance approval but don't anticipate any problems. Once I started my appointments the excitement and anxiety kicked in. I started 6 month supervised diet in August....this used to seem so far away and like a vague idea but its so real now. My anxiety is double as my husband's date is march 18 and I worry a lot more about him than myself. How are all the other April folks doing?

So good to hear from you Nella! I think if you're having trouble breathing from soreness, you probably need to ask for more pain meds. I hope you feel better soon!

Mine is gas. I guess they put air in you or something, but I wasn't passing any of it and it was making it hard to breath and making me sore as all get out. I'm still sore, but I think that's to be expected. I finally started passing the gas and noticed how much better I can cough also

From what I see posted, the gas is really the most uncomfrotable part at first. Glad you are getting some relief. Hang in there.

They pump you full of air to be able to get to things easier. My mom said that was the worst for her. And she is someone who will just deal with the pain. The doctor came in and saw her doubled over in pain and got her some gas ex to help. It is the wonder gas drug. She immediately felt relief.

So frustrated....as ive posted in the past few days ive been having problems aince u had my egd last week ...

So this am i get a call with results from my CT scan yesterday and she tells me i have a hernia and the dr wants to see me tomorrow to talk about it then says ok now dont freak out but you have a nodule on your lungs and need to see a pulmonologist and get a CT of my lungs so first i freaked out then called to see pulmonologist and went and saw him today and he scheduled me for CT and PFT next Wednesday and said the risk that my nodule is cancer is a low risk but i will have to be checked for at least 2 yrs but then he said i might have to postpone surgery if my nightcough doesn't go away!

You just don't get a break! The hernia can be fixed during surgery, I have one and my surgeon says that they usually go away when they tug on the stomach during surgery. The module on the lung sounds scary, but the low risk of cancer is good news. Hope the tests go good on wed and that your surgery will be on time. Sucks to have the thought of a delay, but hang in there and be tough! Thinking of you! Keep s posted!

I had my pft while sick with a horrendous cold. If your still coughing tell them your getting over a cold they should help you to get a clearer reading. It mite be a pain cuz you have to repeat parts of the test but its worth not having to go back.

I just got my pulmonary clearance last week. I was glad for the chest X-ray and pft. They finally figured out why the common cold kicks me on my bumm!

How long have you been waiting? Have you called insurance to see what the hold up is?

Honestly, I probably haven't been waiting very long.I started the process in mid January and had first official visit in February to the surgeon. Everything was turned in on the 14th of March, but Dr. office didn't open up a case with the insurance company until the 22nd of March. They have 15 days to deny or approve.

It's like watching a pot boil....it just seems to take so much longer. I am just so ready to get a date on the calendar. I feel like everything else is on hold until I have a date..

Oh Pebulz! I'm so sorry you are having these complications. You must be so frustrated. I also have a hernia which they will fix during the surgery. It's good that they found the nodule on your lung so it can be watched and taken care of if need be. I hope you don't have to postpone your surgery, but I'd rather have you safe than go under anesthesia and have breathing problems. be strong, you will get through this!
