On March 19 I went to see the dr. He said my liver ultrasound showed gall stones and the gall bladder needed to be removed. I told him, "Let's do it!". My gall bladder came out on Thursday, March 25. For me, the most tramautic part was them putting in the IV. I apparently have small veins that are hard to see and "valvy". It took 3 tries. However, the surgery went well and it was a relatively pain-free, med-free recovery. I am going back to work today. I go back to Dr. Gornichec on Fri, April 2. Hopefully this is the day we set the surgery date.
On another note, I got a letter from my insurance co saying the surgery will not be covered. After a lengthy phone call, it was determined that was because of the wording in insurance plan and the predetermination plan the dr. sent in. My plan covers it if it's INpatient. The determination sent in was for OUTpatient. Ok, we'll spend more money and do this INpatient!!
I'll post more when I know more.
