Getting sooooooo frustrated!!



Recommended Posts

I finally finish my long 6 month diet jump through those super big hoops in all hopes that my journey will soon be over. After leaving numerous messages with the bariatric coordinator, I call her today and she answers the phone!! Wow!! I say what do we need to do to get this stuff sent to Bc and she said well and was flustered and fumbling and I started to worry. She said we still need documentation from 2004 about your weight, I did not go to the doc in 2004. She said you better start digging or find some 2003 and 2002. Great idea, but considering I was on a power Atkins diet I was not obese in those years to qualify. I am thinking I will just pack on some pounds for the next 6 months and then submit the paperwork in Jan 09. I am not sure if we should send it all of excluding the one year or just wait another 5 months. My mom keeps telling me, "I dont know how you go through all this and don't feel like giving up". Right now I do feel like I am tired mentally from all this crap the doctors and ins put us through.... Any ecouragement or advice is always appreciated. Tamara

No giving up, that's what the insurance wants, keep fighting. Your health is worth it.

I am sorry they are trying to screw you over.

I am wishing you lots of luck.

Hi, I to have B/c and just finished my 6 months supervised support. They submitted for approval 3 weeks ago and they did. Why are they digging if you were supervised?

It almost sounds as if the coordinator didn't quite have everything together in front of her, so she said what she could think of to put you off...

Don't give up! Keep checking with her.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
