I’m single AF too [emoji23]

...posting about my sleeve experience. I was sleeved on Oct 6, last Monday. The same day after surgery, I could have nothing by mouth, which was hard for me because my mouth was soooo dry!! I was given a morphine PCA pump (a little button that I could push as often as every 8 minutes that would give me a dose of morphine), that was mmmm, interesting. I was so out of it that anytime a nurse/doc/my family came into the room, I would fall asleep talking to them, (kinda funny). I was in SOO much pain from the gas, I got up and walked my arse off, and it DID NOT help at all. I still today have gas. I puked twice, ouch, once in the middle of the night Monday, and the second time after the swallow test. I was discharged the next day, still very groggy from the morphine. I took so many naps between Tues-Thurs. But, now I am feeling much more rested, still a little gassy, and very little incision pain. I am eating cream Soups, which is saving me from trying to dig into everything at my house! Getting tired of the shakes. Hope everyone is doing well, and progressing!!!

I have CareFirst for health insurance, and I spoke with my surgeons office today. Apparently, my insurance sent over a pre-authorization form, saying yes, I can go ahead with the surgery. Then the lady at the office proceeded to tell me, "but they can still deny you coverage for the surgery, its apart of their disclosure". I am freaking out! I don't want to be stuck with $16,000+ in medical bills. Am I overreacting? Is it literally just something every insurance company has to say? HELLPPPPP!!!

I am Oct 6th as well. Getting excited
