Recommended Posts

hello everyone , I'am so frustrated , why you may ask well first off i am extremely sensitive and i was going about making all the appointments i needed to make for the lap band and i been trying to find a psychologist that takes my insurance cause i would have to pay out of pocket for for nutritionist and psychologist and it would be 500 all together im trying to just pay out of pocket for the nutritionist so anyway i made 2 appointments already one for the cardiologist and one for the pulmonary doctor but i need a referal from my primary doctor cause its required by my insurance , i called trying to get them and my doctor got on the phone and was like "what's going on?" and im like im trying to get referals and hes like " what for ? who wants them ? " with this attitude and im like wtf! so i told him to remind him im having the lapband done by dr geiss and hes like " who is that?" and im like he's up the island so then he says well i need you to have him fax over everything you need done cause i dont know whats going on then he hangs up on me

so i start crying and then call my surgeons office and try to explain to her what a cock my primary doctor is and how he wants me to have dr geiss fax info over and shes giving me a attitude saying "what are you talking about" and im like "are you serious ???? " so she says just go to his office and show him the papers so now i need to go to my primary doctors tomorrow which is 30 min away to show him everything im having done on a piece of paper lets hope he accepts that , man in just sick of people with attitudes how can i do this when no one is wanting to help me im soo frustrated:frown:

Night, the whole process can be and IS extremely stressful for many of us. I went through many many months of Dr. visits and going from one Dr. to another.

It’s all a part of the game. Try and take a deep breath and remember what it’s all about. If there is an alternative, I’d go for it. I did in fact. I chose to go to a Psych that wasn’t necessarily recommended by my insurance company. I paid out of pocket for it and the reason was the Dr. I was sent to kept putting me off. Then when he finally scheduled me an Appt it was a long time in the future. I’d already waited long enough.

I hope all goes well for you. Just try to be more patient with those you are dealing with and for the time involved. You surgery will definitely be apon you before you know it!!

      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.
