I had the bypass and I was able to have it laproscopically. I couldn't imagine how bad it would be to have the whole area opened up. 

sure will, lets us know how things go,,,,I want to have TT soon too....

Well, I had to go to ER today ( I was having breathing problems, a bad head ache,
vomitting, the runs, dizzy, and feel like i just couldn't move)  thinking I had a bug or something, and guess what it was dehydration.   I wasn't feeling well, and then I got sick from something I ate, and it just snowballed.  I was trying to drink but it kept coming up.....All the dr in ER here know me and know I have had surgery. so they check everything.  As soon as they gave me a bag of fluid  My head ache stopped, the vomitting stopped, no longer dizy and my breathing got better (I could cough up the phlem)  but I still have  the runs a little, so I just have to drink plenty and not eat until it stops .....I will be on liquid for a couple of days.   So now I know 1 bag of fluids sure will do the trick..  But that needle stick doesn't feel so good, so SIP SIP Sip  even if you are not a newbie.....and especially sip if you feel bad......later

CONGRATS ON EVERYTHING  DID YOU HAVE OPEN OR LAP  I HAD THE EGD TODAY AND IT WENT FINE I REALLY LIKE DR ROSS 

I have SC Medicaid, and I'm not sure which specific plan, I have, i'm pretty sure your plan will accept it. And it doesn't take long. The longest thing I had to wait for was finding a Psych. to do the eval. Then I had to wait nearly a month for them to finish the eval and send it to Dr. Ross. lol After that, it was 3-4 weeks, tops. Actually, I wanna say it was only 2-3 weeks.
