Feeling pissed off again by Kaiser



Recommended Posts

Okay so I had another sleep medicine appointment today, and they saying I still don't have enough data (35 days of data out of 42days since last appointment) again on this machine so they went ahead and have me another machine (two) plus another appointment in January. I have had this sleep machine since April and this is the only thing that is holding me up from getting a date for surgery.

I have explain to them time after time that I have 3 small kids (twins) at home and I don't always remember to use my machine when I'm trying to sleep when they sleep.

Then on top of that they have kept canceling my following up appointments with Sleep and then give me other dates that are months later. I only been seen 3 times since April.

Its to the point that I might just say they can have it, I'm done. Come February it will be an year since I started Kaiser 6 month program. When I'm

Seeing other insurance company's and people that don't even require or have to do the stuff kaiser is making us do and pay for. I'm so over this now!!!! — feeling pissed off.

I've heard stories that Kaiser is a PITA as far as allowing surgery as they require you to jump through impossible hoops. Keep your chin up. It's just a temporary, albeit inconvenient, bump in the road and you'll be on the other side of surgery soon!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
