Good morning! I would call the doctor. Best to let the experts know what is going on. But if not, I agree with Bubbame, I think you should still be on liquids. You aren't even one week post op! I know every Doctor has a differnet plan, but I myself would go back to liquids and see if the pain subsides...please let us know how you are doing...

Dell, What's the latest? I was thinking of you and wondering how it is going? You know, you can always transfer to another doctor if you don't think they are "going to bat for you". Dr Benavides in Richardson has tried very hard for me. Just a thought......

Way to go!! You are on your way! Saying a prayer for you!

Dr. Benavides has put me on Myocel two weeks prior to surgery. He is located in Richardson. Or you can buy it from Dr. Garwood in College Station. He had something to do with inventing it. It mixes pretty well with alot of things. I have tried orange juice an skim milk. You can add ice cubes and hit it with a blender to make smoothies. I know it can be added to yogurt also if you like. It comes in 3 flavors. Chocolate, Strawberry, and Vanilla. I have the vanilla. Just make sure it is blended REALLY well or you get powder chunks. Remember Orange Julius? try mixing the vanilla with OJ...yummy! oh yeah, runs $35 for 3.3 pounds of this stuff. Dr Garwood's number is 979-485-0395

I am in the Dfw area and would love to get to know others who have had the surg too!

I hope you can get approved! My heart goes out to you. Here is something I have learned. If there are less than 50 people in your office/job that have insurance through your company, whoever it may be, then it is an automatic exclusion. No matter how much you qualify. That is my situation now. I have just gotten my money together and am scheduled for April 7th in Richardson TX
