I didnt think it was really gonna happen today...it was a comedy of errors right from the start! First, they call to tell me not to be here at 5am, but 7:15 am instead, AFTER I had already left the house & was on my way! Then, when I got here, they couldnt find the Drs orders. Then the computer system crashed in the preop registration room. Then best of all, I hear "Code Red, East tower, Penthouse". Great the flippin hospital is burning down now!!!!!!!!!

So my surgery was delayed almost an hour due to a fire somewhere. But, after everything was calm again, surgery went perfectly. I got in around 11:20, & was out by 11:50. Liver was perfect. My band is an Inamed AP Regular 10cc. I am not hungry at all, but I have had some warm broth since it feels great on my throat which hurts SUPER BAD!

The lip balm and throat drops have been big helps too. Although I find myself dozing w/ the throat lozenge in my mouth, gotta be careful not to swallow that!

I am very sore, but I havent had pain meds in about 7 hours now & its not too bad. So far no gas pains & I hope it stays that way!

My mom & kids just left (I am staying the night voluntarily) So I am gonna go nap again.

I just wanted to tell all of you, THANKS SO MUCH!! I never woulda gotten thru all this without the support & knowledge I gained on here! Luv u guys!!!

Why were you originally denied though?

Why were you originally denied though?

they kept saying it was an exclusion. my contract stated the surgical an non surgical tratment of obesity was excluded unless, authorized by a physician for medical reasons. Guess they couldnt read past the comma.

It sounds like you are doing well. Thanks for letting us know how you are doing and enjoy the rest before you get home.
