Where are you guys

Scheduled for 01/14/16 , I went to my seminar last February so the process has taken almost a year. Excited and nervous at the same time!

I'm so nervous. I leave for the hospital in about 90 minutes. Surgery at 11:15. I'm so ready for this to be over.

It is 11:38 and hopefully your surgery is going well. I also hope you will have a speedy recovery. Let us all know how you are doing when you are able. Good luck!!

I'm one of those tricky west coasters it's only 8:45 here. I still have 2.5 hours to wait and make myself crazy.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes.

Have you contacted your insurance company? Sometimes that helps motivate them.

No I have not! I know the Dr can't do the surgery until he gets back from his out of the country Holiday vacation sometime in Jan. Plus they submitted it despite the fact that they didn't have the breathing and stress tests and PCP medical clearance and medically necessary forms yet. When I asked why they said those other things they would add as they got them from the Doctors. So I guess they submitted an incomplete report. I see the Cardiac Dr for the results of the stress test today. My PCP was waiting to get all the test results before he writes the medical clearance and medically necessary form.

So I will call my PCP today to schedule an appt with him for his clearance then after the surgeon office submits everything I will call insurance if I do not hear within a week,

January 18th 2016 sleever! I'm

New here!!

The surgery went great. Most everything was as expected. I had some trouble staying awake in recovery so it took longer to get to my room. It's been much more comfortable than my c section recoveries. Lots of walking, liquids, and rest. I should be going home tomorrow around 9am. I had to have my incisions covered because I woke up picking at them twice.

Thanks to everyone for the warm thoughts. It makes the process a little easier.

Just got my surgery date! January 5th! It's all starting to seem so "real."

If you need help staying strong through the holidays , I'm here!! We're just a day behind each other. My pre-op starts the 21st. Oh joy

I'm officially 1 week post op and down 12 lbs since the day of surgery!

Getting in my fluids and protein is really tough. My stomach has been protesting everything I put in it.

My large incision still REALLY hurts. I haven't been taking any pain meds because they don't taste very good so who knows, maybe I'd be fine if I actually took something. I think I strained my internal stitches, every cough/sneeze/attempt to get out of bed is very unpleasant.

Next week I can start puréed foods, I can. Not. Wait.

Glad to hear things are going well and you will be home tomorrow.

11 more days left of only Slim Fast and Crystal Light. Did anyone else have to drink these items only for their Pre-op?
