Default Surgery is Scheduled
Met with my surgeon and we have scheduled a date. I will go into surgery on May 27th and can't wait. But in a lot of ways I am still scared now more so knowing it is really going to happen.

Has anyone had surgery using robotics? My surgeon says it is more efficient because it is more precise. I don't have a problem with it, just wanted to know if anyone else had the same surgery.

Thanks for "listening", cause I am sure there will be more in the weeks and months to come.

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.

HI - I see you are from Raleigh! Where are you having your surgery done? I had mine at Duke, but no robotics... Welcome to the board! Congrats on your date.

I did not benefit from the use of robotics, personally, but I used to work in marketing for a hospital and have seen the DaVinci and know the pros of it - it's incredible how technology has progressed!

Good luck!

I really need some advice too. I don't want to have visitors at the hospital, specifically my mother in law, as I know her reaction will most likely be negative. I have told my husband but he says if she wants to come there is nothing we can say and we have to let her visit. Should I just not tell her to ensure she won't visit, or try to make it clear and hope for the best?

you can tell the hospital that you do not want visitors and you do not want them to give your room number to anyone that calls about you. They have a special name for it but it alludes me right now. So if anyone calls the hospital it will be like you are not there. ahh a protected patient I think is what it is.
