I have so much to say and so many questions to ask. First off, I did find out that BCBS (Virginia) DOES cover this surgery! Woohoo. I called University of Virginia and now have my first appointment next week! That appointment is all day appointment that consists of tests, seminar, etc. Just that appointment is over $2,000! I'm soo excited but have one concern. Which is ... (your gonna laugh because it's not that serious) ...a Arterial Blood Gas. I am the by far the biggest baby. I'm so scared it's going to hurt. So opinions...is it THAT bad? It could be a few months (my insurance doesn't make you do the 6mo diet).
Here are some questions:
Does the fills hurt?
How long were you out of work? (I'm a correctional nurse, i'm not on my feet TOO much and when i'm there..there is always another nurse, could I be out just for a week?)
How often do you choke or vomit? (I hate vomitting!)
