I Just Want To Cry And Scream!



Recommended Posts

My coordinator was supposed to submit to insurance last Monday 8/20. I followed up with insurance today and they haven't received anything from the doctors office. I called my coordinator and she is out until Friday. I am so frustrated!!! I was supposed to have vsg in September. Now I am wondering if that will happen or do i need to start this process over with a new doctor???? I just want my life back!!! I am tired of feeling like i am being held back due to my weight. Thanks for letting me rant..lol

:( I'm sorry to hear that. It sucks when things are in someone elses hands and they aren't handing it off appropiately. Have you checked to see if there's someone else at the doctor's office handing the case files while she's out?

Can't anyone else at the office send over the info to the insurance company?? That is crazy see if you can talk to the office manager. Someone should be able to help you

Can you call and talk to the person in charge? Make a big loud fit and tell them that you have to let your work know when your need to be off so they can get coverage. Be as loud as you can. The squeaky wheel gets fixed first. So sorry it's that way.

This squeaky wheel got in touch with another coordinator and will be submitted tomorrow AM!!! The other coordinator responded within 10 minutes of my email. She is awesome! I am back in love with my doctors office. Thanks for letting me rant. I was at work and trying not to having a toddler melt down.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
