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!

      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.
