SECOND APPOINTMENT
Dec 06, 2005
12-7-05 I JUST RECEIVE THE CALL FOR MY SECOND APPOINTMENT!! IT IS ON DECEMBER 27th. THEY SAID I WILL PROBABLY HAVE MY SURGERY THE FIRST WEEK OF JAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!
STILL WAITING
Nov 20, 2005
11-21-05 Still waiting for a second appointment date. Vocational Rehab is what's slowing everything down. They have to get fees approved for every little test, etc. I was hoping for early December surgery date but looks like now it will be after Christmas. It's hard to be patient.
WAITING
Oct 20, 2005
10-21-05 Today I faxed the all the paperwork they wanted from my first appointment. Now I have to wait for them to notify me to schedule my second appointment. Hope to hear from them soon.
FIRST APPOINTMENT.....AGAIN
Oct 02, 2005
10-3-05 Had my first appointment today. All went well. There are 5 items that they request sent to them before my second appointment can be scheduled. I am working on getting them.
RESCHEDULED
Sep 20, 2005
9-21-05 Had to reschedule my first appointment due to Voc. Rehab issues. It is now scheduled for Oct. 5th.
EXTRA SUPPORT
Sep 14, 2005
9-15-05 Just wanted to let you know that I found Obesityhelp's new message board for BMI over 50. It's great! It's such a comfort to find others like myself.
AGREEMENT MADE
Sep 10, 2005
9-11-05 I found out this week that Voc. Rehab and Georgetown Hospital have come to a verbal agreement for payment. They are suppose to sign contracts next week. So, I have my first appointment for nutritional consult, psych consult, and etc scheduled for Sept. 26th. I am very excited but have to tell myself that everything is not definite yet. When I get a surgery date and know it's going to happen, then I can let myself be happy. Then I will be doing the dance of joy!!!!!!!!!
STARTING OVER
Aug 05, 2005
8-6-05 Vocational Rehab has increased their payment for WLS. Now we start over trying to find a hospital to accept their payment. I'm so excited but trying to remind myself it may be difficult to find a hospital as in the past. I've discovered Georgetown Bariatrics and they do all their GBS laparascopically. I'm 400+ pounds and hope they will do mine lap as well. Will update when I know more. Pray this works out for me.
NOT GIVING UP
Jul 10, 2005
7-11-05 Still trying to find a way to get GBS. I'm not giving up.
DOUBTING
Apr 30, 2005
5-1-05 Still no luck with finding a way to get GBS. I just don't know what to do. Maybe it's a sign that I'm not suppose to have WLS? I can't believe that! There's got to be a way. My family wants me to try to get disability for my super morbid obesity. I'm considering it but not sure that's what I want to do. Any suggestions?
