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.

      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.
