My surgery 9/5/06, is with Dr Paul Guske at St Alexius Hosp Hoffman Estates IL. I am insured with Blue Cross of Virginia, I was very lucky because I got the ok for surgery within 6 weeks of my first consultation.
My Doctor requires liquids the day before the surgery. He also requires 6 days of injected blood thinners after the surgery.
I am starting to get nervous and scared now that the day is getting closer.
