Whats worse C-section or Lap Band

I know it sounds silly but I am really concerned about the pain that I will feel after surgery. I usually dont do well with pain n I am scared of the pain. I had a c-section about 6 yrs ago n it wasnt so bad, I mean it hurt but by the 5th day I was good to go. I know again it sounds silly but want to hear the peoples thought...:willy_nilly:

Waiting to get a surgery date

:w00t: I was approved for my surgery about a month ago. My surgery date was scheduled to Nov 9,2008 but the doctor hadnt finalized all the paperwork with the new hospital he would be working out of; so they rescheduled to the 25th which wasnt so bad even if I was upset about it. :wub: But yesterday they called me to reconfirm everything when they noticed that my insurance had coded me ok for gastric by-pass not lapband. i couldnt beleive they made that mistake!:w00t: I was beyond upset but I couldnt do anything except now wait until all the paperwork is approved again with the right coding. I just cant beleive this but again this would only happen to me:crying: I need moral support. I have no idea when they will re-approve or if they even will. I cant believe I am going thru this waiting process again:cry_smile:

Still no 2nd approval ....:(

For those of you that know the story.:willy_nilly: I was approved a month ago :thumbup:n was scheduled for surgery on 11/10 :teeth_smile:but when the time came they noticed I was approved for Gastric By-pass :thumbs_down:n not Lap band:thumbs_up: so my paper work was resubmitted about a week n a half ago n still no re-approval:sad_smile:. I went from going almost there:smile: to not knowing when:cry_smile:. My surgeon's nurse said more than likely we are looking at the 2nd week of January:unsure: (which is right after my 27th B-day:thumbup:) I guess New Year n New life in 2009:confused:. God I just want to hear that I am approved again:bored: n I will feel alot better. After that I could wait till Jan without a problem. At least I will be able to enjoy the holidays comfortably:blush:.
