okay first , don't worry about venting here .. we have all been where you are at .. most of us anyway. Don't worry about the 6 month diet plan ... there IS A LOOP HOLE .. IF you can get your PCP to go for it . I too had to have a " 6 month diet plan " .. this really only consisted of 6 pieces of paper , for each month , that asked me what i was eating and what excerising i was doing that month ! All i had to do was fill them all out and have my PCP sign them !! I didn't wait 6 months .. Its all paper work for the insurance company . So , get the paper work ( your surgeons office will have them ) Fill them out starting 6 months ago with whatever diet you've " been on " and ask your Dr to sign them .
Now .. getting upset about 3 month wait is a entirely different story . I know you read sometimes about people on here that decided want surgery and they have it the following Tuesday . HAH That is not realistic. it will take you ITLEAST 3 months to get in to see all the specialist for the Pre-op testing . I had to wait 4 WEEKS just to get a CONSULT with the sleep Apena Dr ! So start booking those those test now , stay ahead of the game. If you find out later that you don't need that particular test , cancel it . No biggie . But if you happen to do , you already have a appt.
DONT GIVE UP YET !! YOU ARE JUST GETTING STARTED !!!
Good luck ! =)
