Had surgery earlier today and feel good

  • Popular Post

Typing to you guys from the hospital. Had my surgery about 12 hours ago. I haven’t looked at my incisions but I’m told there are 6 and look good. I’m drinking water And broth about t 4-6 oz/ hour. That does not make me full wondering if this is normal? I also barely feel pain. I didn’t have any gas issues at all.... all is good and II plan to go home tomorrow. Appreciate everyone who read and responded and those who IM-ed me. I guess I’lll go over to the post op thread, lol.

  • Liquids won't make you feel full - they go right through you. You likely won't feel full until you start eating solid food. also, a lot of people don't feel much pain with this surgery (some do,

I'll be going into surgery 19 days I hope my recovery is as smooth as yours :D

I am super frustrated with this 12 month process I have to go through because of insurance. I am 6 months in and done all of my prep work, tests etc. I am ready now just sitting and waiting on insurance. Anyone have any experience in getting insurance to move up time frame?

I would just say you have to be proactive, call your doctors business office, call your insurance company. I even called my employers hr department. I work for a large company and they outsource people to advocate for insurance for situations such as this. I put out out an APB like I have to get this done! lol I do understand it's an insurance game to deny at first. I've posted my story but I went through the whole 3 month pre-program even got Pre-approved. They went to submit me and then..boom..I was denied. I unleashed holy hell and it worked.
