Feb 25, 2011
I haven't updated on here in quite a while. Oops.I went to the seminar in June, heard one of the surgeons and the nutritionist say the same exact things I heard in May, so that whole trip was a waste of gas. Except that I ate at the Soup Plantation down the road afterwards and it was good. lol But before I got to do that I remember I had to stand in line for an hour to sign up for the next appointment. They had one guy doing all the scheduling so it took forever. I had that next appointment in July, on the 16th I think, with Dr. Chu. Heard all the same stuff, nodded the whole way through thinking about getting the DS. Was basically told that being overweight was 100% my fault. Anyway I started working on an appeal letter to Kaiser soon after that, but I went on vacation at the end of July and work started being more hectic than usual so all I wanted to do on my weekends was absolutely nothing. So I'm still working on it.
But the letter may be nothing now as I lost my job last Friday so my insurance will cancel soon. I may try to get onto medi-cal, but based on their website I don't qalify. If I could skip appealing to an insurance company and go straight to the DHMC I would.
