Re: how to prepare for excision surgery.....to D.....From: Amber (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon Jun 18 09:51:51 2007
Hi, I had excision at the CEC in February. I had to travel to Atlanta from VA. Luckily the flight was only a couple hours. I had a very good experience there and the results have been amazing, so it is defintley worth the traveling, etc. I had to fight my insurance company for 6 months to go there, I had an HMO, so it can be done. I was not aware I would be doing the bowel prep, I had never done one before, so when they gave me the bag of goods to do that, I wasn't really prepared to spend all afternoon and night in the hotel room, that was the worst part for me, had I known I wouldn't have been so put off by it I am sure. The flight back wasn't so bad. The airport in Atlanta was a little rough. I brought two pillows the hospital gave me and sat on one in the wheelchair and put the other across my lap. After checking baggage, security,etc and getting to the gate I felt pretty bad. I took my pain meds right before I got on the plane again, and once the flight took off I was fine. When I got home I did sleep for several hours, traveling can be tiring even if you hadn't had surgery. My email is ambergail8778@hotmail.com if you have anymore questions, I would be happy to share anything with you. Good Luck!
