Post Surgery 8 days

Jan 14, 2009

The date of my post op, the hospital call me  to tell me that the insurance sent them a letter that the surgery was not on my insurance plan. So the day before the surgery I spent the whole afternoon on the phone with the insurance company , the hospital and  with my personal department at work to find out is our plan changed eff 01/01/09.  The V P of personal called and said that she had a email reply from the insurance company rep that Bariatric surgery is on our company plan and since I had the pre-approval letter it was okay to go forward with the surgery.  What a roller coaster of emotions.

Day of surgery went off without a hitch. I was Dr. Stewart's second surgery. After the day before I was glad to be there so there was very little anxiety.  When I woke up I was up and walking around 7 PM. I had no problems. Went home two days after Surgery. The nurses at the hospital were very helpful and took super good care of me. 

I haven't had any problems since my surgery.  My side is sore at the incision site.  Having trouble getting in all the water, but still happy with my decision to have the surgery.
