amazon_gets_fit 10 Posted February 6, 2017 I am so annoyed by this process! As a person who has never in life been sickly, had surgery, been admitted to a hospital, this process is beyond my comprehension. Not only am I dealing with a myriad of doctor's offices and appointments, the medical bills are overwhelming. I knew the process wouldn't be cheap but I'm just thoroughly pissed off at all of it right now at a point where I'm nowhere near completion of any requirements to even submit to insurance to have surgery...

_Kate_ 2,224 Posted February 6, 2017 Do you have someone who could support you through all this. It's overwhelming to do it all alone and I find when I am like that, talking it through with someone and making a list prioitising what i need to do and when really does help. *hugs* Kate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10stackzz 184 Posted February 6, 2017 I understand your frustration. It's a boat load of information and appointments. It's really a major change in your life. Therefore, getting prepared to alter your body requires a lot of necessary paperwork, blood test, etc....These test helped me prepare my body for surgery. It showed me what nutrients my body was missing...Hang in there!!!...I'm sure it will all be worth it....invest in yourself!

ddr2017 20 Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) In 2 days of testing, I racked up over $25,000 in medical bills, my portion was $1100, but, trust me I understand your pain. It really is about sticking with it! Vent, rant and keep pushing! I'm waiting for my approval now. So I'm still right there with you! It'll work out if you trust the process!
