Surgery Approval

How long did it take for an approval from the insurance carrier?

In my case, once we had the documentation they needed (rejected first time), my surgeon's office faxed in the request and I had the acceptance letter in less than a week.

I see you had your surgery on a couple of weeks ago. I hope all is well. Can you give a little insight on what you're feeling now.

I am feeling pretty good now. Walking a lot more. I was pretty sore on the left side at first. I still get tired easliy, but am going back to work on Tuesday. I took the docs advice and took a few weeks off to recover. At first had some nausea too, but not very much. Had some meds to handle that. Biggest problem has been the gas issues, not very painful but just discomfort. Gas-X helps but doesn't completely eliminate the problem. The doc has me on a 4 week post op liquid diet, this is getting pretty hard now. Previously it was just fine, but I am sick of liquids.
