Annoyed with waiting



Recommended Posts

I am annoyed and frustrated right now. I have my sleep study on the 5th and then meet the surgeon on the 18th and then I have to wait clear till May to see the endocrinologist before I can get a surgery date. Bear in mind I have to travel 2 hours to get to all these appointments. Except for the sleep study. I am wanting to get the surgeon and endocrinologist visits done on same day as they are in same office but I got told that won't be possible unless there is a cancellation.

I hate this wait it is driving me nuts, and I really want to do these appointments in same day to save on gas as well. Anyone have any suggestions to what I can do? Or advise on anything?

Thanks

Research, Research, Research !!! Try different brands & flavors if Protein Shakes, cut out carbonated drinks ( if you drink them) start working on taking small bites & chewing very well! Start walking ( if you're not already) increase your Protein, start taking your vitamins!! I started this process in September with no waiting period!! It has taken me all this time to complete all of the appts. and I still have 1 more appt. on Mon and one more Endoscopy before I can submit to the Insurance :/ I'm about to seriously go crazy!! But, I've done gobs of research and everything mentioned above! It has helped me feel like I'm still preparing oh!! And watch you tube videos!! I've been living vicariously thru these people!! Good Luck and I wish you a speedy process!!!

I'm one who doesn't mind bugging people, so if my appointments were too far out i would call every day to check for any cancellations. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to try? People cancel appointments all the time so you never know if you could get in sooner.

I promise it gets easier. I agree with what others say...do your research and get yourself fully prepared. I remember when I was still a minimum of six months out to ever finish the classes that I have to take. Once a little time passes, time just starts to fly. Now I look back and can't believe how much time has passed and how quick it seems like it has gone. I think we all get impatient...once we realize that this is the choice we want and the right decision for us, we want it to happen quick, and as frustrating as the wait can be, it's kind of a blessing. The time helps you to prepare both mentally and physically. Don't worry...surgery date will be here before you know it!!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
