jojo 0 Posted May 1, 2007 Bashful...good luck on your consult. I too have the same fear that I will be denied. My consult is on May 2 and I am holding my breath. Once I made the decision to have this done I wanted it right away. The waiting is hard. Once I have an actual surgery date I think I will feel much better. Hope all goes well for you tomorrow.

Bashfulcoyote 0 Posted May 2, 2007 went showed up 15 mins early watched the lady try and set up a projector screen, Im hopeing she is a better Medical assisant then she is dealing with Computers and projectors! LOL Claudia Weighed me in, there scales said 303lbs Mine at home say 298 (I like mine better). The Dr was 20 mins late, he was stuck in OR. No big deal. He finally got there did his speech. We went in and talked to him. He thinks my insurance (state insurance of Medi-cal) will denie me. Because I have no complications from my weight that could cause me to die, such as high Blood pressure, sleep Apena, High blood Sugar. Im to healthy, lol. So we are going to submit it and see if they denie me,if they do I can appeal. Then if I get denied again I will have to do a Dr supervised Diet program for 6 months - 2 yrs. Or I can join Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. Personally I dont like there diet plans so Im going to do my own thing. Im going to get in to a Registered Dietitian. Tell her I want to Low carb, which Im already doing. And then force my butthole Dr to weigh me every 2 weeks and chart it. I dont care if he wants to or not this is my life and he is going to help me get it on track!!! He is always blaming everything on my weight he outta help me lose it.

jojo 0 Posted May 5, 2007 Wow what an ordeal you are going through. I had my consult on Thursday and it went very well. They booked my surgery for May 24th. I have been going back and forth on how I now feel. Sometimes I am so relieved and excited to be going ahead with this and other times I am scared and wonder if I am doing the right thing. Hope things progress well for you. Hang in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
