toler48 120 Posted August 31, 2015 @ It will go by faster than you think. Good luck. As we all have our surgeries, let's keep updated on how we feel, how we are progressing. I think it would help all of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pindoctor 49 Posted August 31, 2015 Thanks for all the well wishers! Having the insurance company which in the past has given decisions in 2 weeks take almost a month was not in my plans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mykdzmom 387 Posted August 31, 2015 The same thing happened to me. When I didn't hear back I called for an update at 2 weeks and was told it could take up to a month to get approval. I thought I would be denied for sure. I was bracing myself for an appeal. Then a week later I got the approval in the mail from the insurance and the surgeon had not even been notified yet. Eeeeekk! I was relieved, and I am so happy for you. Things just feel so different when you have a date. Thanks for all the well wishers!

tblovingme 22 Posted September 2, 2015 Scheduled for September 10th, Had my pre op appointment with the surgeon today to go over the plan for the day of surgery and what to expect. WHOA.. It was a lot of information to consume and added some thick anxiety. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsKitz 20 Posted September 2, 2015 Another one for September 8th here. Did all my lab work yesterday and hopefully I'm all set with my hematologist too. Start my liquid diet on Thursday. My surgeon only requires a 5 day full liquid diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

casper_808 44 Posted September 2, 2015 I had my pre op assessment yesterday (uk). I asked about the pre op diet and was told that my surgeon in particular doesn't request his patients to go on a diet however if I was under the care of 1 of the other 2 surgeons they would have liked me to go in a 2 week milk diet!! My surgery is next Friday! conflicting information... Maybe if should just do a strict liquid diet.. guess it can't hurt. Has anyone else been told they don't need to be on a pre op diet?? Jay05 My surgeon told me that the liquid diet prior to your surgery helps the healing. It is less painful and heals faster. It wouldn't hurt right. My surgery date is set for September 14 in California. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
