Nervous About Rescheduling



Recommended Posts

So, I have to have my money to my surgeon tomorrow since that was the absolutely latest I could pay and still keep my schedule for next Monday. My mom withdrew the money out of her IRA and we usually always get the money within 4-5 days. Well, because of Sandy, the stock market closed for 2 days thus delaying the money being sent. We got the check in the mail Saturday and I was so relieved! We went to deposit the check and the bank said the funds will not be available until Wednesday!!! I'm going to the doctor's office tomorrow armed with every piece of documentation that we have to show them they will have their money first thing Wed morning, but now I have butterflies in my stomach for fear that they will reschedule me and that will have to be "after the holidays" according to the coordinator at our first visit about finances. Fingers are crossed and praying that they will okay this and not postpone me!

Write a check dated for Wednesday when funds are available. Docs want to do surgery so I think you will be good just take in your deposit slip showing funds in same account as check you are writing out of for payment

Good luck and keep us informed

Thank the Lord, they let me keep my surgery date!!! We explained that since Sandy had closed the stock market for 2 days, the funds were going to be delayed by 2 days. We showed proof that we had done everything humanly possible to get the money to her on time and that it was out of our hands. She told me that I would have to come up there first thing Wed morning and give her the money, but I told her that we were going to give her the check now so she would have it in her hands when she needed it. She wasn't thrilled about giving us the okay, but I guess since it was the storm and not us that is was okay. I am so relieved. I was sick to my stomach all weekend worrying about it! So, I'm still on for Monday and I could just about scream I am so excited!!! Thanks for the advice and thoughts. My heart sure does go out to those that have had to fight their way through this process.

      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.
