  1. 6 days post-op, still on liquids.. Not really feeling hungry or full, just keep sipping constantly! Almost no pain, other than on my right side, and only when I get up or down. Get tired easily and quickly, tho, when out and about. So napping, it is! I have to remember this was a major surgery, and the body needs plenty of time to heal! So I will enjoy this time away from work, and rest!
  2. 2 days out! I've just had my first protein drink, and battling some pain, but I know it's not forever! I don't quite understand the pain at the top of my abdomen, tho! And since I had hiatal hernia repair, I know where the collarbone and shoulders' terrible pain came from! Even that is starting to dull. I'm hungry, but not stomach hungry - only mouth hungry! I will conquer that! The hardest part is getting up and down, from chair, bed, etc. And because of need for fluids, I'm not really counting them as meals - just drinking, drinking, drinking!
  3. Whoo hoo! My company actually did the right thing! They overrode the insurance company and ordered them to approve my surgery! I work for a government agency, they are self-insured, just using Regence to be the middle-man. Now I'm getting excited all over again!
  4. So I've been jumping through the insurance hoops - 6 months of nutritionist, doctor, fitness, sleep study, upper and lower GI, chest x-ray, all of it! Then, the stupid insurance says I didn't do all that, and that at almost 300 pounds, it's not medically necessary to have the surgery!!!! WHAT?????
    The doc's office called insurance, found out they (insurance company) made a mistake, I should have been approved, but they REFUSE TO FIX IT without forcing us to go through the appeals process! This is how this company has saved my employer money! By screwing over the members!

    Anyway, long story short, I got mad at the insurance company, gained 10 pounds in 3 days, but most is gone again now.... Waiting....... and waiting......

    Does anyone else run out of enthusiasm while waiting? Ugh!
    Thanks for input!
