I feel so selfish...



Recommended Posts

My info should be to sent to insurance sometime this week. It would of been last week but insurance coordinator was not in the office. Now she is playing catch up. I feel so bad because I am fussing to everyone about having to wait an extra few days to be submitted and many you guys and gals have to wait 3 months, 6 months, or even longer to complete your journeys and I just started mine on March 3rd of this year. I am very anxious about this whole ordeal. I want to get excited but I am afraid I am going to be denied. I meet all the qualifications and I have a whole laundry list of comorbidities. Is it normal to be anxious, nervous, and excited all at the same time? I wish everyone well.

I don't think your being selfish.

I think that you just want to get on with your surgery so you can begin a new stage in your life.

Being all those emotions that you are experiencing is normal.

Good luck to you.

It sounds like you're feeling exactly how I felt. When I actually schedule my surgery I thought "I'm not going to sleep for the next month" My neves calmed down as it go closer. I don't blame you for being a bit annoyed at the delay. My final appointment with my surgeon was on the 8th and the office didn't send my paper work until the 22nd. I was more than a little annoyed.

I think what you are feeling is normal. Take a deep breath and try to relax. You will do just fine.

      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.
