xX_iSLAY_All_Day_Xx 21 Posted November 30, 2012 It's okay.. me too. April seems sooooooo far away. I'm hoping that May will remain my scheduled surgery day... Romans 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joyaskins34 31 Posted November 30, 2012 My 6 month diet will b complete in April:/ so after that! I'm hoping I can have surgery by springtime! U??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xX_iSLAY_All_Day_Xx 21 Posted November 30, 2012 I'm scheduled for May 6th.. and my consult is set for April 16th 2013. The surgical coordinator told me my diet forms weren't filled out correctly so she advised me to start over to assure everything was documented right...that set me back a whole month. Instead of being finish with my diet early April I will be done early May... I don't know if they'll allow me to go ahead and show up for consult that scheduled day or if they will push the date back to allow me to completely finish then come for consult in May... It sucks so frikken bad that I have to be above 40 at consult... I wish I could weight in then do the diet... nerve wrecking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
litlsisred 20 Posted November 30, 2012 Wow... my doc will submit with initialweight prior to 6 month weight loss if the weight loss is required by insurance. Sorry be strong all will work out. Diane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xX_iSLAY_All_Day_Xx 21 Posted November 30, 2012 I've been battling weight for a number of years.. however my doctors didn't go into detail in their doctors notes about my weight loss attempts and treatment options .....and they also weren't consecutive on top of all that. They want 6 months of an attempted/ and failed supervised diet... once they have evidence of that they will consider approval... and of course must be 40 or above at consult or there wont be a party going on. lol The Lord has his way of doing things, and when he does,it will be done right... We must practice patience...that's all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joyaskins34 31 Posted December 1, 2012 So they have u a surgery date without being approved ? Pray pray pray!! I keep remembering what the first surgeon told me..they make u jump thru all these hoops hoping we will give up! I am not until I know there is no hope! Since I've been on my "diet" (lol) I have actually gain a bit I'm miserable ..but was told do not drop below 40! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
