Ugh. Another hurdle



Recommended Posts

Hi, all. My story is I had jumped through all my hoops and was smooth sailing to have surgery in July when I got diagnosed with endometrial cancer.

So WLS took a back seat while I had a hysterectomy and s million tests. Blessed that surgery was my cure.

Had my follow up with my gyn oncologist yesterday and was nervous that she wouldn't give me a release letter for WKS, but she was happy to do it. Yay, me! I delivered it immediately to the WL clinic.

Got a call last night that they can't send my stuff to insurance for approval because my last Iron count was low (after major surgery. Duh) Ive been taking Iron, but I guess it has to be back in normal range before they will send it in. Not planning on surgery til December, so I thought I had a few months to get it back up. Anyways, going in for bloodwork tomorrow and nervous that it's not up to where it needs to be yet. Tired of delays!

Thanks for letting me vent!

Bless your heart! You've been through so much. First and foremost, congratulations of having been cured from cancer!!! I hate that horrible, insidious disease! I have faith your body will be ready to be cleared for the surgery soon. Until then, your body will be healing and bouncing back. Good luck!!! :)

Aw, thanks you guys. It's so nice to have a little extra support.

Going to be eating spinach and steak all weekend. Maybe I'll push my bloodwork off until Monday. Ha!!!

      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.

      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.
