So sorry you are going through this. Know we are praying the doctor finds out what is going on and it is fixed pronto!

Well here's the short version... Endoscope/ gallbladder ultrasound next wed at 11am (please, please pray that my gall bladder is okay and will not have to be removed!!!!!!!! please, please, please) Pap on the 13th Group mtg with hubby on the 21st Need to lose 15 lb pre-op, low fat diet to shrink liver before surgery. Surgery times are being scheduled out end of Sept/ beginning of Oct by the doctor. Here is MAJOR part!!! I need you to pray!!! My insurance is not approving sleeves at this time due to some paperwork not filed correctly by the hospital on a previous patient. So it has been 2-3 wks and the doctor is on hold with this type of surgery, until the hospital fixes their paperwork. No clue when this can be. It could be Monday or 3 months from now?!?!?!

Congratulations!!! I am so excited for you! Have a date yet??? LOL, wishing you all the best!

I can Only Imagine is a favorite of mine too. It really ministered to be when my dad passed away :001_unsure:

Ever had a God song? You know, a song that God uses that speaks to you, your life, your circumstances. The lyrics of the song seem to b written for you and only you. Your spirit man leaps when you hear this song and you feel so close to the Father. It can be God ministering to you, like your anthem song to get you through what you are going to through. Or it can be you worshiping the one and only true God. My heart jumps at praise and worship. Through song, I feel like I can be real. The wall come down and there is not pretense. I thought I would share my God song with you for this week. It is Revelation Song, sung by Kari Jobe. I hope it ministers to you too! Blessings :thumbup: http://www.tangle.com/view_video?viewkey=c455e06ebd06647fc4de&

My inspiration!!! You look great!

Not good. If the referral brought up your name, then the office manager should have told her, "Sorry, we are not allowed to discuss any other person with you. But here is your information and what you need to do, etc, etc." (that way they are not even acknowledging that you are a pt on their end, I say this all the time) You do have a case here and could do one of two things. 1) Tell the office manager not discuss any of your information with anybody other than you and your husband or whoever else you allow. And let it go this time. 2) You can file accomplaint and it will go under investigation, with office manager being reprimanded and/or fired if this has happened before. HIPPA is VERY serious.

What Information Is Protected Information your doctors, nurses, and other health care providers put in your medical record Conversations your doctor has about your care or treatment with nurses and others Information about you in your health insurer’s computer system Billing information about you at your clinic Most other health information about you held by those who must follow these laws She was not allowed to talk about YOUR billing information however if you both have the SAME insurance, you have to make sure what she disclosed was not of YOUR personal information (esp YOUR name in the conversation referring to you) but just of general insurance information. A provider or plan may also share relevant information with these persons if, using its professional judgment, it believes that you do not object. For example, if you send your friend to pick up your prescription for you, the pharmacist can assume that you do not object to their being given the medication. A referral by you to a health agency esp if you are present

Great post Maddie, thanks!!!

Ladies, your points were made and accepted. Some might agree, some might disagree. It come to a time when we need to agree to disagree. Like you said, everyone has different spiritual walks in our lives. Her's is different from ours. We need to meet them where they are. What she needs is edification and prayer right now. She is having surgery in 5 days and I don't want to be one to contributes to a restless spirit and pain in a heart. I pray you understand where I'm coming from. Love you all :thumbup:

Thanks for all the info!!! Praying for a smooth surgery and even smoother recovery. Keep us posted

Ignoring top post for my peace of mind, lol. To the real matter at heart...our sisters and my self struggling on this journey and trying to edify one another. mp8btpc, Praying for you, dear heart. He is the great physician, Jehovah- Rapha, "God our Healer". Praying healing for you body and peace for your mind. He loves us unconditionally, no matter what our decisions are. Here are two of the many scriptures that I hold close to my heart during this journey. :biggrin0: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2Timothy 1:7 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6

This has been a rough week for me. I am working overtime due to vacations. So I'm not getting home until late, hubby has been making dinner everyday, doing all the laundry ( which he does any way but I put it away), sweeping the floor, washing the kids. I feel guilty because he is Mr Mom at home plus running the store 40 hrs :huh0: I'm guilty because I'm so tired, I didn't go to bible study so now hubby took the kiddos there. What am I doing??? Typing this! Pitiful, I know. To top it off, we got our oldest's school schedule today. She is starting kindergarten this year. Come to find out that her orientation day is the same day of my pre-op appointment. So I called the doctor. If I don't go on the 27th, I will have to wait another month, for another appointment. So now I fill guilty because hubby doesn't want me to miss my appointment. He is going to work half a day and then take her. So now the guilt is just killing me because mommy is blowing it once again I feel like I'm letting my family down because I'm too tired to do anything with them. Now I'm letting them down by thinking about me and what I want. I want WLS but I feel like I'm putting everyone out. I guess I just needed to vent a little.

I know how you fell, wishing you all the best

CONGRATULATIONS Jane!!!! I love hearing the success stories. It gives me hope, one day it will be me :scared0: I wish you all the best!

Can't wait for that day! Some days it's hard to get out of bed :scared0:

No offense, we're here to support each other and this was a good question. Problem is you can't hear the meaning behinds words that are typed, kwim? So don't fret. Now, I hope all goes well today and keep us posted! My pre-op appt is the 27th, getting excited for it get here! Praying for all my sisters (and brothers) in Christ :scared0:

Still in the morbid category here, but looking towards the plain obese, lol
