Appt #3 on Fri 7/25

Jul 23, 2008

Well it's that time again for my monthly appt w/Dietician. This makes #3. Don't know how many times I can say 'I am so ready to get this over with'. I simply can't see the light at the end of the tunnel right now. Trying my hardest to stay positive and focused. So very sick of these plus size clothes and so very ready to be on the Losers Bench. I don't even know what else to say and I should be working right now but I can't focus due to lack of sleep. I have some serious insomnia--can't even take any Tylenol PM b/c my twins STILL are not sleeping through the night--they keep flipping on me. As soon as one is sleeping through (mostly) the nite the other desides he doesn't need to sleep during the hours of 2-4AM. Anywhoo, life is life and I must press on--I sound so depressing. I will go before I bore myself to death and f/up after my appt. TTFN!

f/up from Appt w/Dietician

My appt on last fri went well. I really didn't learn anything new. The surgeon explained in great detail during my consult what 'eating' would be like after the surgery. She did give me some points to follow now and gave me a great pep talk to get me pumped and motivated to start eating better right now as well as exercise. 1 visit down and 5 more to go--5 more LONG months. Next visit is 6/27. More too come!

Appt w/Dietician on Friday

May 28, 2008

Requirements in process---my appt w/Nutritionist is on Fri. and I guess I'm not that excited. I am sooooo ready to get this long process overwith it's just not even funny. I feel like I'm a prisoner to the insurance company and they want me to do 6 months 'time' and then I can be released. Luckily it's not 'time' in the joint but it kindof feels like that's what it would be like--I assume it would be anyway. I am trying to stay encouraged and keep my hopes up. I know that they are going to give me a plan to follow so I am prepared for that. Patience is a virtue. I don't have a lot of patience these days. I just feel like my whole life is consummed with taking care of my twins and work--no extra activities or adult activities I should say included. This whole work-life-balance is so extra hard and stressful on a single parent. I didn't intend to vent on this blog but it looks like I have. I need to get off the pitty wagon. Just don't know how right about now...

Consult complete...Not a Happy Camper

May 14, 2008

Well I had my consult yesterday and I am very impressed with Dr. Macik. He was informative and very honest with me. I appreciate that a great deal. I have no problems with him or his procedure. It's my insurance that I would like to strangle right about now. They require a complete list of Insurance Prior-Approval tasks for me to complete.

1.Letter of medical necessity from PCP
2.TSH blood test (WTH is this test for??) 
3.Psyc Eval
4.Letter from a Dietician
5.5 year hist of morbid obesity
6.6mo physician asst diet/6consecutive visits to a medical doctor documenting weight, vitals, diet therapy, & exercise therapy. Summary letter will not do. Each visit mut be clearly documented

I would like to scream now.....UURRRRGGGGGGGGG!!!  This is going to push this surgery so far out that I hate to say this but I 'could' and I will use that term very loosely just about loose the weight myself or atleast 'some' in that amount of time. I am desperate and need help--thus my NEED for surgery. I am completely out of control and have reached a breaking point---and they want me to go on a DIET. OMG this is crazy!!! but I understand it's part of the Insurance GAME. If I want them to pay for this surgery (and I do) then I must PLAY the game. Ok, I got that out. Venting for the day complete. That being said I've already got an appt set for Mon w/ PCP to get this GAME started...
