My First Appointment



Recommended Posts

Just got to my doctors office for my first appointment, only to find out its been CANCELLED! The not-so-friendly receptionist explained they tried to contact me, when I asked what number they had it was incorrect. I've been waiting for this day for sooo long! Now it's been pushed back until the end of February :( I'm devastated! End rant.

That stinks Nikki. As an insider secret, try calling the office on a weekly basis to see if they've had any cancellations that you could squeeze into. At least you have the existing appointment now if nothing pans out, but if it does, you'll be in there sooner than expected!

Good luck

Thank you for responding, it feels good to know there are others out there who truly understand. I am going to call every day. Hell hath no fury like a woman who has been blown off! ;)

hahaha, dont I know it! If they dont have any cancellations, maybe they'll get so sick of your phone calls and just create one for you so you'll stop calling. Either way, thats a win!

I agree that you can call tomorrow and reason with them. It takes sheer determination on our part to get through the hoops that are laid out. I say call and call again.

You can do it!!!!

      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.
