Bipolar Moment



Recommended Posts

I had my first and final meeting with my surgeon (Dr. Chua) before surgery. I am very excited. The only thing left to do is wait for his office to submit my request for authorization to my insurance (Aetna). Most people who have my insurance say they were notified in a couple of days if it was approved. If this is the case, I could know before the end of the week. Woohoo!!!

Now the only thing left to do is find a new primary physician because my old one just moved to Texas before the last month of my finishing my requirements. (I was able to see her partner) I am disappointed that she did not write my letter of necessity before she left and I will have to use the one from my OBGYN that was less than stellar if I may say so myself. I wanted to curse her out and say "Why the He.. didn't you use the form letter that was provided?" My previous doctor wanted me to Facebook her my progress. I want to facebook her to let her know that I do not appreciate her stiffing me and filling my head with high hopes to only be let down again. She better hope I get approved so I do not have to facebook her my dilemma to progress.

Sorry for the Bipolar moment. I am just so anxious and will be pissed if these doctors who were suppose to do their job (they were paid by insurance) mess this up for me :angry:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
