When you have your one month followup they will give you a list of what you'll need. They are pretty specific on what you'll have to take. Pain was not bad and they were great about keeping up on the pain meds if you needed them.

Ok thank u. Did u go through insurance? I have BCBSIL. Lisa the physician asst told me on my last appt that she will submit my info. I was wondering how long to wait to call BCBSIL to verify they got it?

I love Lisa....she is so inspirational. I have united health care and it took less than 5 days once they sent it in.

Yes she is great! I hope I get an approval fast. Once approved how far out was surgery?

They were about a month out. I was approved in December so they were looking at January but she was out for two weeks so we set a date in February. I ended up having to push it to March due to our house fire and here I am today. I would not have changed anything and so glad I did this. You will be too!

My last appt is may 5th they set my tentative surgery date for June 11th. I hope it ends up being sooner. I'm glad she doesn't do leak test. I'm so sorry to hear about ur fire. I hope no one got hurt n everyone is doing good. What foods are u able to eat as of now?

That is great!! Congratulations! What exercises do u do? A day for me is:

8-9 am wake up

9-10 eat Breakfast have to wait an hour before eating when I get up because of my meds I take.

1130 weight lifting (2 lbs weights) and walking 2 miles.

1230 eat Protein Bar or string cheese then take a shower n get ready for work

530-6 eat dinner which is a couple of the following fish, baked Beans, string cheese, blueberries, sandwich, speghetti wheat noodles, vanilla pudding made with 1% milk, Jello, or Soup. I usually do the fish with Beans with string cheese n blueberries. I love fruit.< /p>

8-9 pm Protein Bar or cup 1% milk with nesquik powder. Was told the nesquik is ok to have.

11-12 bed time

I need to learn other stuff I can eat. I struggle learning what is good and not good. I guess it will always b a learning process.:)
