Topic: RE: Home Sweet Home .... but
hi Trish, Do you normally get motion sickness? During my pre-op visit, the anesthesiologist nurse asked me if I got motion sickness. She said there is a correlation between it and post-surgical nausea and gave me a prescription for one of those sea-sickness patches to start wearing the day before surgery. Of the three times I have had general anesthesia, twice I was very nauseated afterwards. We'll see how it goes on Wednesday. Jayne

Topic: RE: my surgery is 15th
my surgery is the 15th too. i'm having the sleeve. i'm soooo nervous. is this the right thing to be doing, should i try to diet again and not do this or what. i know i'm going to love it after its done, i just can't wait. it's kinda like being on death row, trying to figure out what you want for your last meal, that you won't be able to eat later and enjoy.

Topic: Insurance coverage help needed
I have two job offers one with aetna- the inner office did brag how good it was. blue cross bs either PPO or HSA- haven't heard much bragging from anyone in the office with this insurance. How can I pick either position so I know that whatever surgery I pick like, lap band etc. will be covered? Anyone have any experience. I need to make a choice by Friday... Help
