Part 6: http://itsfun4me.blogspot.com/2012/01/getting-personal-part-6.html
It's been a while since I have posted on this so feel free to refresh your memory by reading my previous posts.
My procedure was done the end of December 2011 and I can finally say, without a doubt, that it was a success for me! Why did it take so long for me to feel this way? My own fear that maybe it didn't work. I kept looking at that trampoline, knowing that I needed to test it out, but fearing that I had gone through all of this and the result wouldn't give me what I hoped for. Finally, I jumped! And there was no leaking!!! I have been sneezing, coughing, laughing and jumping for months now with no problems!
I have to admit that I wasn't 100% better right after my recovery. I saw improvement all the time but some things did take a little longer. I had a lot of fear as I started hearing more about potential problems with the sling that is used. I have not personally experienced any of that but I made sure I followed my doctors orders!
Cost: I have the final numbers! Keep in mind that everyone's needs are different and insurance coverage is different. My total bill was $20,000 (for the two procedures I had done). I paid $2,000 out of pocket. If I would have planned further ahead I could have picked an insurance option that would have saved me some out of pocket money but I am satisfied with the end result. I am VERY happy that my insurance did cover some of the costs. If you remember from my first blog post on this - I had no idea what the cost would be but planned to pay out of pocket. Well, I was not prepared for the total cost to get this high! My out of pocket payment in the end was much more in line with what I was planning on.
