chasswen,

Thanks for the feedback; I am beginning to go in panic mode. I had 8 inches of my colon removed 10 years ago and it was a horrible recovery time. Dr. tells me this surgery is not as bad since I am going into it fairly healthy.
Any post op info would be appreciated. Did Dr. B send you abroad for surgery?

Since I need two levels I doubt insurance will cover it but I want to exhaust all options since the $$$ amount is so high, To date, I have not even gotten a rejection letter from insurance, to start the appeal process.

So as of now, I went from triathlons...swim, bike, run to pills, pills and then more pills.
With surgery scheduled in August.

Any insight on post op and insurance would be appreciated.
