I'm not sure I know what you mean by "how did you go about IT?" If you're referring to finances, I did have private insurance and my final surgery was covered since I was part of a research study. It was just a fluke that this came about...they were just finishing up with the study when I appeared in the ER and I agreed to participate since any adhesions that had formed from the other 3 surgeries would be cleaned out...and I wouldn't have to pay for it.
But if you mean your quesiton in another way...you'll need to elaborate on what you mean by "IT".
