So glad to hear that you are doing well! They still haven't set a date yet, and they haven't really communicated with me about sending out for an authorization. Dr Streeter said that I should be having the surgery around early December. I have my next and hopefully final appointment with him on December 5th.

I was everything went good I just came home today...I not hungry trying to drink as much as I can other than that I am sore and starting to get gas pains in my belly

happy everything went well for you. The gas pain can be brutal. It too shall pass. Just think in a few weeks your biggest problem is going to be what to do with all your old clothes. Welcome to the losers bench! !!

My first check up went ok I had to go to the hospital for fluids I am not getting enough water in I go back today again for a recheck...I honestly don't feel good at all

They sent my information to my insurance company last week and I meet for my final workshop this Thursday! Hoping for an early December surgery. How long did it take for you guys to hear back for your authorization?

I am feeling a lot better today...had to get more fluids yesterday hopefully now that I am getting in more water than I was the doctor will let me move on

  • 2 weeks later...

I'm so glad you're feeling better!

I'm a little peeved right now at southcoast, because I've been told over and over that I should be tracking an early December surgery, and now the scheduler tells me that she can't submit until Jan 1st, because MassHealth has a 3 month in the program requirement. Nobody told me about this until the last visit! Not even MassHealth when I called them! So now it looks like the end of January for me, and I may have lost my insurance by then. So upset.
