Why is it...

Why is it that you always get either hungry or thirsty when you can't have anything after midnight?

Oh, yes. I relate to this. I should be doing A, but I'm really doing B. Edgar Allen Poe called this the Imp of the Perverse. It's a great little story about a guy who killed another guy and got away with it, but it droves him absolutely nuts worrying about it, so he finally confessed even though no one suspected. People are just perverse.

On another topic, why are they screwing around about your surgery? I'd find out. There's no point in putting it off. If that surgeon can't do it, find another one.

I am actually on the verge of being approved by insurance. I had to get screened for drugs/alcohol (don't ask me why) and have an upper GI done before insurance would approve. I got the screening done yesterday and have the upper GI scheduled for next Wednesday. After that, though, I should be approved.

The major thing that postponing the surgery is that I had to switch surgeons. My information had already been submitted to insurance before we found out that the original surgeon wasn't in network for my insurance. So, I had to find one that was. No problem, right? Wrong. There are only two bariatric surgeons in my state that are in network. I decided to use the most experienced one, but she's very busy. Plus, she's going on maternity leave this summer, leaving me with a surgery date of late July, at the earliest.

Because someone told you you can't!

It's like when you are out camping, the outhouse is a long walk in the dark, and the minute you settle in and zip up, bam ya gotta go!:heh:

For me, it's always like "Why am I too busy to eat or drink anything before midnight?" I swear that happens every time. Something comes up and I miss my window to eat or drink by like an hour, so I end up having a 20 or 24 hour fast instead of a 12.
