I had the ds sept 13th! Honestly the best thing ive ever done! My best advice is WALK! Slow nd steady. Moving will help with the pain although its hard at first! I would say after week 1 things start getting easier! Im almost 3 mnths post op and very happy!

@@hectorlopez323, congratulations on your New Year surgery date? Do you have to pay any copays or coinsurance? I'm mad because I have to since my surgery won't be until February.

I'm not in California.

My plan says 1000 deductible. I'll find out on the 22nd when I go for my preop. A lot of plans in cali don't cover it. I got lucky my boss who's the project manager helped me transfer to a union site with better healthcare. She believes this surgery will help me and has been very supportive since I been wanting this

Good luck to you!!! At my pre-op, which was yesterday actually, I met with the admitting people at the hospital and had an EKG and some bloodwork. I don't have Kaiser, and i've never been to the hospital where my surgery will be at, so i was soooo lost. Hahahha. Thankful that everyone there was helpful in directing me around!
