Postby jillbugs4110 » Sat May 16, 2015 12:54 am

Hi

We always come back for more questions due to the bullshit...you deal with. OHP my insurance denied RFA ON liver...THE Surgeon Is Going To Still DO A Surgery Tuesday He Is Cutting It out Is This Like A Wedge resection?? I don't know one fear after the next....I'm going for it....sorry my phone is freaking out on caps it's all good lol...

Anybody have this hurdle? Advice?

Jill, it always something. My IR says they don't have problems getting livers and kidneys approved. It may be that if you're a surgical candidate that they want you to take that option first :roll: either way you're getting your liver dealt with and that's great. You're on a roll right now in the good news department, take it and run.

Ditto... Jill, just let it go and think only about nice anesthetic/feeling happy after the surgery. Kenny is absolutely right - it is being dealt with and that is all what's matter. Wedge resection is everyone's dream - you are lucky it is possible. Will be thinking of you Tue, ask your husband to update us on your condition. And now just relax and gather things for the hospital. It is nice when someone is taking care of you - you will have this pleasure during your stay when nurses and doctors are all around you :)
