Completely Unfilled on August 25, 2008 6:03 pm
I went to see my surgeon today, I wanted to get an unfill since I am still getting sick several times a week. He decided to just unfill me completely while I wait for approval. I also gave them my PCP's notes for the past 3 months. My paperwork along with a beefier letter of medical necessity will be submitted tomorrow. We are asking them to waive the remaining 3 months but it is likely that they won't. I am going to think positive thoughts and pray about it. I am really hoping that they approve it and I can have RNY next month. Work is really hellish right now and it would be great if I could have my surgery and then take some time away from work. I should hear something soon.

Month 3 of my 6 Month diet on August 21, 2008 11:28 am
Well, last friday 8/15 I had my 3rd visit for my 6 month supervised diet. Next monday I am going to see my surgeon. When I last saw him I asked for an unfill, he decided not to give it to me because he said I was loose. I am going to have to demand one this time. I can't continue to throw up everyday and if I don't stop I will probably damage my band. I am still getting sick on an almost daily basis. I want to be able to have breakfast again. My primary doctor is disappointed because I am not losing weight. I can't say I am really trying though because UHC told me thay they are looking for me to fail. I do want to lose some weight anyway though but I am afraid I am not taking in enough calories to be able to lose, my body seems to be holding on to everything. My doctor is trying to be supportive and has provided me the documentation from my June, July, and August visits. I will be taking these documents to my surgeon Monday and asking them to ask UHC to waive the last 3 months in light of all the issues I am having. Do I really expect them to do this? No, but I am hopeful. I have already scheduled my fourth visit with my doctor just in case.
Other than that, life is hard, I can't seem to make my ends meet for anything and I am toying with the idea of getting another part time job. I really don't want to do this though but I am struggling hard. I couldn't even buy my book for my Chemistry class that started this week. Fortunately for me I think I will be able to get by without it until I get paid next week. All my bills are really behind though so I am going to have to do something drastic it seems. What really sucks is that my son will be the one to suffer because I will have even less time for him then. Oh well, what can I do. School is going great. My first class ended a couple of weeks ago and I got an A. Now I am taking Chemistry (Inorganic) and Anatomy and Physiology II. My job is telling me that I need to work more hours when I am trying to work less. I asked for a 4/10 schedule to help my engagement out but was told that this is not possible. I am working my 40 hours a week now but I guess they would prefer 50. Considering that I am going to school and will probably be looking at part time work I don't know where those extra 10 hours will come from. My son goes back to school next week and I am really excited for him to go back. Thats all my updates for now. I will be back after my visit to my surgeon next monday.
Forgot to update my family situation. My brother who was given an extension to Sept 1 to move is clearly not going anywhere. Since education is so not a priority for them and they weren't supposed to be here for this school year anyway they did not register the kids for school on time. Now apparently they are not leaving and went to register the kids but space of course is limited. My niece and nephew will be attending different schools now. I keep asking my mother what is going on with them but she will not talk to them about their plans. I guess I am a bit annoyed with my brother and sil. They each got a couple of thousand back in taxes and 600-900 from the economic stimulus. WTH do they have to show for it. And he was unemployed when both of these were received and knew he had to move. Me, I got a whopping $125 back from my taxes. However, I pay my mother rent, pay my own utilities and buy my own groceries with out any government assistance. I really wish he would grow up and set a better example for his kids.
