35 Yrs Old. Going from DD to C - Insurance to Cover 80% - Baton Rouge, LA

I've always said that if I could, I would, but...
$6,000
I've always said that if I could, I would, but I've never checked into it until now... I manged to convince my Chiropractor to write a letter to the insurance company saying that he thinks I will benefit from a reduction. After the letter was in my hand I made a consultation appointment with my PS. I never thought that the insurance would agree, but they did! I honestly thought that my case wasn't solid enough, but it was and my surgery is scheduled for September 18! I'm excited and a ball of nerves all at the same time. I've read and researched in attempts to prepare myself as much as possible. I even have a whole notebook page full of questions to ask my PS the day of my pre-op. I'm a planner by nature and trying to have this process go as smoothly as possible.

Getting Closer - Less than a month away
I go for my pre-op on September 3 and am literally anticipating the day! I've already bought a whole list of supplies that I think I will need and am SO OPEN TO ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS.... I know I still need to get some anti-bacterial soap and I need to order an extra surgical bra or two..... But I did get stool softener, surgical tape, mederma and some panty liners..... I also did some research and ordered a whole list of vitamin supplements that promote healing within the body after surgery so I'm remaining hopeful that this whole process is going to be smooth and with minimal pain. I only have 7 days off work.

I am also scheduled for the 18th so it's nice to know someone else on here is going in on the same day. Wishing you all the best, I will be thinking of you and follow your posts.

Sally - since you're in Australia. Will you actually go in before or after me? I'm scheduled for 8:30 central time zone. I definitely wish you the best as well and have to say that I am rather excited to be going through this with you - kindred spirits, maybe? LOL

Always best to let nature heal, so prune juice post op should mean you don' t need a stool softener, a high protein diet will help with healing and plenty of fruit and vegetables will mean you don't need loads of supplements. Take care to check anything you take pre op as many things increase bleeding and should not be taken close to surgery.

While I do believe that plenty of fruits and veggies will help with my healing, I also am a firm believer in the power of supplements. I greatly appreciate your concern, but I've seen supplements along with proper diet heal many things quickly so I've got to do what I feel is best for me. I've actually done plenty of research and am confident that the supplements I have chosen will only help to speed the healing process and I won't even start on them until after the surgery. I will definitely add prune juice to my list of items to buy; however, I think I remember trying it once before and not caring for the taste.

Yes, prune juice tastes pretty awful but it does what is needed. my main concern with supplements is when people use them instead of a healthy diet, not the case with you obviously. Happt healing.

My cost discovered -
I found out today that my insurance is going to pay 80%. 80% of the hospital visit and 80% of the doctor's office fee..... After all is said and done, my portion will be around $2,500. The cost was a let down, but I have to look at the bright side.... it's much better than having to foot the entire bill.
There's no waiting for a better time.... the better time than NOW, so I am going for it!
