Darn it! I have to wait 3 more months!



Recommended Posts

Second surgeon consult and my insurance rules changed! Lucky me now I have to wait 3 more months. She said she will try and submit it now and see what happens, but most likely I'm looking at Feb/March

Oh, this must be disappointing and frustrating.

I had to wait 9 months for my surgery. Instead of being sleeved last July 2015, I finally got sleeved March 2016.

My Surgeon's Endo found out I had Graves Disease (hyper-thyroid), and that had to be addressed first.

It took 9 months of thyroid treatments for it to be stabilised enough for this surgery.

Funny enough, the waiting time went really fast for me.

Hope yours goes quickly too!

I figure I was fat for 10 years going up and down... other that wanting what I want when I want it... really, what difference would 6months make.

Well these 3 months flew by, so hopefully the next 3 do! I had all my appointments though so that may be why the past 3 months seemed busy. Now I just have the NUT appt each month. Oh well! Everything happens for a reason. My time will come!

I kinda been there is was a couple months In a 6 months process last year then the place I was. Goin told me they was goin to stop taking my insurance on the first of the year so I had to find some place else and start all over. Now I only have 2 appointments left and I hope it's worth the wait and all the hard work.

      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.
