    A few questions

    I have Horizon BCBS NJ, my BMI is 35. something (see below) and my co-morbidities are osteoarthritis and back/joint pain. I was approved. I submitted first time with a well written letter from my doctor recommending the surgery.

    Mirena IUD ?

    I have had my Mirena IUD since August 2011 and I have not gotten pregnant. I got Mirena because not only does it place a foreign object in your uterus to make your body reject any developing fetus, it also gives off a small amount of hormone to prevent it from occurring. Some IUD's do not give off hormones and are just a foreign object intrauterine.

    Water iceblocks

    http://www.justbestrecipes.com/casserole-gratin/lemonade-ice-blocks.html I don't think these would be bad, but you can do sugar free also...

    Time will seem like its at a standstill, just keep yourself occupied and good luck!
  8. Honestly, I think a liquid diet would have been easier, more black and white..I've had issues with severe headaches on my preop and cravings are definitely a mind game...

    hi am five days out a

    Yes, very common after pain meds is constipation...if it is bright red, usually nothing to worry about, need a stool softener, but obviously I'm not a doc! If its a dark red, that could mean internal and call your doc right away.
  10. Good to hear whats going on, now I'll make sure I bring chapstick... almost forgot! pay it forward!
  11. Yes its the drugs, it will get better...

    medical jewelry

    lol, thanks Fyre Storm.! I personally didn't get one because I wanted one that looked like jewelry, but if it were an emergency they wouldn't be looking closely at my jewelry to check for the tag unless its obvious...don't believe they would see it.
  13. I was waiting for the stress eating remark! Very eventful day! Good luck!

    A charge for hernia repair surgery ?!what?!

    I would be upset too, it may or may not have been done. It could have been a billing error or an inflation of billing. My consent forms said possible hernia repair and possible liver biopsy. Its an insurance game in my opinion, but I would say something to your surgeon if you want to know.

    help!

    I agree, put it down, you will irritate your stomach...step away from the kitchen!

    An introduction of sorts

    That is a natural feeling. Welcome and I hope you get it!
  20. Why can't you try both? Start the medicine now, gain weight, if you don't conceive then do this...if you do conceive do this after you have your baby.

    Five weeks out and frustrated

    Also, my post op instruction state that if this happens to go back to liquids again and allow your stomach to calm down again and in a week or two try again.

    Prior to surg

    Advil definitely not, I believe 7 days prior TALK TO DOC to find out. Also, ask if you can have Tylenol, I think you can. I've been having headaches and back pains, but I'm just dealing with it. I don't want to risk being refused by the Anesthesiologist.

    WERE YOU NEEDY BEFORE SURGERY?

    I've definitely seen stories of both. Its an adjustment for the both of you. If there is a problem after surgery, couples therapy is always an option! Good luck, I'm sure it will get better!

    Suprised at how much of an a** my husband is being

    Pain meds throw me into a crazy personality and at first I wasn't aware...
