So.... my surgery was scheduled for 7:30 this morning, but I got cancelled yesterday because I need to have a stress test done on my heart prior to surgery. My pre-op physical disclosed a left bundle branch block in my heart and after a echocardiogram, the cardiologist wasn't satisfied and wants to perform a stress test. Did anyone else have such a postponement? So sad... today was my day. But now, maybe next month will be my day... or the month after... or ???? 😭

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to the forum.
My surgery date is October 21 and I feel like am going crazy! I've got so many thoughts and feelings and it's just all the same stuff going around and around like socks in a dryer!
I'm trying to be proactive and get some things ready, like cutting up and bagging some chicken to make food prep easier on my fiance and son while I am in the hospital and recovering. But even doing helpful and usedful things, while helps me feel helpful... and useful (lol), it doesn't stop the relentless screamingn in my head that's just going EEEEEE SURGERY SURGERY SURGERY IT'S REALLY HERE IT'S HAPPENNIIIIIIINNNNNG!!!!!
I've wanted this for so long but I never had insurance that would cover it and now I do and I've jumped through and waited so anxiously and now it's almost here! I'm not scared, I'm not anxious about it going well, I know it will, I'm just so ready to get through it so I can get on with my life!
Any surgery twins?
Lmao it felt so far away and yet everything happener so frigging fast! I am now one week post op! No complaints or complications so far, except liquids are getting on my nerves. I see my surgeon tomorrow for my postop followup appointment and I am excited to graduate to soft/mushy! I am craving every soft/mushy food under the sun!

I was dismayed to experience hunger so soon, but it is satisfied quickly and it isn't constant. The Water weight I gained from all the fluids they pumped into me in the hospital is almost gone, so I am super stoked to see what the future holds!

I'm feeling the same as you, fellow 21st-er! I'm getting tired of the lack of variety but I'm not a huge foodie so it's okay. Today is the first day I'm feeling pretty up and happy, and I feel the gas is almost gone! Trying not to weigh myself until the check up next Friday...hope you go well from here too!! ❤️

October 20th and everything’s good except the excruciating pain from the hemorrhoids I got trying to poop. This pain is worst than any pain I felt after surgery!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
