    Still in pain

    I also had my surgery on August 7th and I'm feeling the same things. I left work early yesterday and today because it hurt so bad to sit still and upright. My understanding is that it's still normal for the first 2-3 weeks. My doc said not to worry. Hang in there.
  2. I believe that with most docs, if you pay using your insurance, they pretty much charge for everything that comes up. Is there a way for you to cobra your insurance until everything falls into place for you? It can be expensive, but it might be a better alternative. I just left a job and it's about $300 a month to cobra my insurance for upto 18 months. Good luck!

    Pre-Op Diet

    Surprised to see that so many of you have very minimial if any pre-op diet. I met with the nurse today and she said 2 week pre-op diet of 800-900 calories. YAY! I was expecting it to be a 2 week liquid diet for some reason, so I guess there's an upside to things :biggrin: Surgery is August 7th... can't wait! Best wishes to everyone--glad to have such a good group of people!
