Topic: RE: doctor trouble
I don't know that I would change just because of this, he may have thought you already knew this because many ins. companies require a medically supervised diet. Yes it's a pain to find out now instead of sooner but actually you are lucky because most require a 6 mo. supervised diet. Have you already checked with your insurance to see what they will require to cover surgery? You need to know their requirements as well as his. Of course if this continues to be the way his office works you may want to look for another doc but I wouldn't jump into it right away. Good luck!
Topic: RE: fibro pain
You may have to go back to your pain doc and have him prescribe something that is easier for you to take that won't bother you so much. It can take awhile to get all this figured out. Best of luck to you!

Topic: doctor trouble
I need some advice. Ok so i picked a doctor he seems like a good doctor and hes not that far away. But now i feel he misled me am i being emotional or is this how things allways work. Ok so i wentto my first appt with him it was good he told me to make appts. to see my diatician , the evaluation get an upper gi. and then sleep apnea test. ok all these appts. are set for october. then in nov, clerence from my doc. Ok good i thought then when trying to get back ahold of doctor to shedule a presurgery date no luck two weeks nurses wont return calls or email. Finnally after getting though by email i get a etter saying i have to do three months of weight loss with my primary doctor. Not that i mind this just i could of started this three months ago and been done. i see that he is really busy and also have seen that he does this to by him time because hes so busy but i feel i was purposly not giving all info. i would of rather been told ok this is what you need to do but you still may have a while wait. my ? is should i go to a diffrent doctor even though ill have to drive a couple hours away.

Loretta,
I was 59 years old and 470 lbs serious arthritis and fibro I was not only scared I really thought I was not going to make it thru the surgery. My surgeon saidin my case it was more dangerous to NOT have the surgery! It is normal to be scared. I had , alresady had both my knees replaced ( which is serious pain) but the gastric bypass was nothing for me. It hardly hurt at all.
Do you have a surgery date????
