Thank You for the recommendation of telling my doc about MonaVie before the surgery. I did not give that a thought. Although, I feel so great, I may cry if I am told to stop drinking it for a few days.
As far as watch and wait - what about insurance?? Wouldn't the AN become a pre-existing condition? Not that I am eager to have the surgery, but insurance drives us to that. My insurance just changed last month due to the fact that my former carrier filed for bankruptcy. Luckily there was some law that the new company had to pick us up with no pre-existing clause. Un-luckily....I have to meet my $5000 deductable all over again. My husbands family and myself, both own our own businesses and due to cost, have terrible insurance - but that is another story!
Unfortunately in this country, we practice "reactive" medicine - as in we wait for a problem to arise , then react. I will continue to be proactive with my health and search alternative methods such as MonaVie. I have wasted too many good years of living. Time for life!
So....I still am confused on which way to proceed......
