Really Bummed Out



Recommended Posts

I just finished the last item on to do list for the surgery last week. I am finally at peace with my decision and ready to do this.

1. Money (Check)

2. Blood Work (Check)

3. EKG (Check)

4. Meet with Nut (Check)

5. Start a Pre-Surgery Diet (Check) - (Lost 30lbs, woo hoo!)

6. Psych Eval (Check)

Surprise bill from from IRS - What??????? :o

There was a problem with our 2010 Taxes and we just got a bill for about $4,000. Ugh!

I've called our CPA to figure out what (the blank) happend. Oh gee he mysteriously no longer works for the firm.

The only good thing is that the owner of the firm called me and will help us figure out what happend.

I am soooo bummed. This will take a huge chunk out the surgery money.

Now I feel doubt creeping in, maybe this is a sign that I shouldn't do this? Should I be spending this kind of money on myself? I did not have any insurance hoops to jump through (they wont pay a dime), so I some how pulled the money I felt like yes I really am going to do this. Then BAM!

I just want to cry.......

Sorry I had to vent. I just can believe this is happening again!

DayByDay

its ok to vent - even cry a bit - you are allowed

sorry for this setback - it is just a "brief"set back

hopefully the owner of the "firm" can help you/give you good advice and help

payment plan for that large sum of money you owe??,

things can hopefully be dealt with -i hope you don't just throw away all your hard work, prep that you went through for WLS

it might take a while, but hopefully you can get some help/loan - i know how much you want and need this surgery to help save your life

you are worth every penny you need spend to have this WLS, you are all prepared, money saved, i hope you do this now - before your feet get too cold

you've already lost 30 lbs

good for you

best wishes

you deserve this WLS - you are worth it

good luck

No apology needed for Venting! This is the place to do it...amoung friends. Unfortunately all we can do is listen and send hugs. I firmly believe in positive thinking....with the accountant you'll find a solution for both surgery and a payment plan for the IRS...soon a thinner you will be making affordable payments to the IRS. All Good :)

Just wanted to update. Good news. Our CPA says a letter will close out this issue. It wasn't a mistake, just a communication issue with the IRS. They just need an explanation of that was box we checked and the issue will be closed.

Still holding my breath until this issue is closed. But I had already decided that I would not take it out of my surgery fund. I'd just make payments. I'm glad that was an option.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
