My Dr. convinced the insurance company.......... I'm off to the castle......
Hi ladies,
I am happy to report that my Dr. convinced the insurance company and I am still scheduled for the 2nd of August at 10:15 am........ Whewwwwwwwwwwww...
I went to pre-op today and everything is good and ready to go. As long as my cold clears up and I don't develop a fever, I am good to go. I don't have any bowel prep except for Dulcalax the day before. I really did not expect them to clear it, I thought that I would have to jump through all of the hoops. He said that with the way my uterus is, there is no other treatment other than a hysterectomy.He said that he expects to find adenomyosis in my uterus too. Don't know to much about that. I pray that my cold goes away before next Wed. so I can put this behind me.......Thanks to all of the ladies who gave me words of wisdom....
Love ya all!!!!!!!!
God Bless,
Tara

Congratulations on getting approved, soon-to-be !!
Let's hope that nasty cold takes its leave of you right away. Lots of , juice, (I personally swear by hot water with lemon in it....) more -- consider it pre-surgery pampering.
to you.

(((Tara )))
I am so happy for you! Congradulations!!
I have been wondering where you were and was getting ready to post and ask if anyone had heard from you. Please take care of that cold. I go for my pre-op next Tuesday and then to the castle @ 6Am Wed morning. Same day as you.
Lots of huggs are sent to you. Now that it is all settled take a big breath and rest.
Liz

Hey liz,
Is your surgery at 6am? Thats really early. My Dr. decided to do a tvh instead of lavh. Which I am kind of relieved about. I have heard that the lavh is a little harder to recover from than just a tvh. He really calmed my nerves yesterday. I trust him completely , and I know that he is going to be very careful with me. I am not as nervous as I was before, I don't have that scared feeling in my tummy. But of course I did not get to sleep until 3:00 this morning, so guess I am a little nervous, but at least that fear is not swelling inside me.. How are you doing/feeling? Are you feeling more confident the closer you get? Do you have an appointment with your Dr. on the day of your pre-op? I hope that you do, I think you will feel much better after he explains everything to you. I know I did..
I will be thinking of all of the August ladies in waiting all week. The time is going to fly by and before you know it, Wednesday will be here and over with........
My pre surgery instructions are so simple, just stop eating by midnight the night before and take a dulcalax the day before. Thats it...
In my prayers,
Tara

Tara,
I have pre-op the day before surgery. I have to be at the hospital the next day Aug 2nd at 6 am and am scheduled for surgery at 8 am. My brother works at the hospital I am going to and told me to expect to be in surgery around 9 am becaiuse they are always running behind.
I am a little on edge but I expect to be a lot on the day of surgery. I know I will be ok and you will too. We are almost there!
Liz
