Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Congrats! Can't wait to see how your journey goes, what an exciting time. I was in pain like you, (day 3 was the worse) but by day 5 it was soooo much better, hope it's the same for you!

Good to see you are doing great! The pain would of been caused by the Gas that they put into your tummy area. It hurts like hell, and may take upto a week to be gone, you might find that you are passing wind alot and have shoulder/chest/back pain like a dull ache for a while, that is the referred pain from the gas. (not including your site pain).
My site pain is almost all gone now. Just some niggling left side issues when I strain too much, or if my tum gets knocked.
Congrats on being on the losing side!

Something which I have found though, water intake is more important than food intake at the moment. DONT let yourself get dehydrated!

Well done!

Glad to hear it all went well. Yes, the pain was a bugger for me right out of surgery and for the first week (I am one of the ones who did use up all my pain meds!) But it does get better and it's nothing that you can't get through, just keep sipping and walking, the walking does make you heal faster. I made sure I got up and walked every hour, 5 minutes, then 10 minutes, then 15...it took time but I was moving. Good luck and...Congratulations!
