Disappointment
Feb 25, 2010
Thank you to those who sent me good luck messages. This last week has been one roller coaster of a week.
I get a call last week from my surgeon's office wanting me to sign a release for my mental health records. I am bipolar and deal with anxiety and depression but I have it controlled. When I went to get my eval for my insurance company I was cleared for surgery and when I met with my surgeon he assured me that as long as I was seeing a Dr for my mental health and was compliant there weren't any issues. He's had the results of the eval since July but the week I'm scheduled for surgery one of his girls calls me and tells me he needs a letter from my phsyc Dr oking me to have surgery and that he's concerned about something. They told me to go ahead to go to pre op, then the day before surgery I get a message saying he is postponing my surgery until I get a letter from my other Dr. The Dr I see is new at the center so she's only seen me once and didn't feel OK being that she doesn't know anything about me. 
Clearly I'm upset about this and know one will tell me what exactly the surgeon was concerned about. Being I asked him if anything about my mental health would be an issue and he said no it wouldn't be! I know it'll be rescheduled, but I don't know when my phsyc Dr will be comfortable enough to write the letter I need. It's beyond frustrating to prepare for something, my husband takes the time off work, money spent and looking forward to this date for years and then being told just hours before that it's not happening. I guess things happen for a reason and my day will come, I just know like many, being sick and needing the help that WLS gives is something that has a short time life. So instead of having surgery I spent the day going to the movies and spoiling myself a little.
