I am having a hard time getting my fluids in.........

i was just wondering how long the whole process took for people i had a really easy time and my insurance had no restrictions, other then i had to change to a ppo but i went to my first seminar last June waited for open enrollment and switched to a ppo and January i made my first consultation appt. and i had my surgery 4/30? what was your process like?

I am right there with the rest of you.  The first week I was someplace I never thought I would be.  I also feel I have a high pain tolerance but this surgery blew me away.  Today it is day 10 for me and finally feeling liking a human being again.  No way I was getting all the fluid I was suppose to get in those first days and a protein shake or 2 - forget it.  Those just made me more nauseated.  Now it is a little easier and I am on pureed food.  Actually started with the 2nd stage baby foods for the convenience of it.   Good Luck to us all who had our surgeries in April - we are now on the other side of it and have to move forward.  I keeping everyone to their promise that it will get better.

Update us when u can, we r all pulling for ya!! We love u!
