Jul 04, 2009
The sleep study center called me to set up my appointment but they are out of network from my insurance. Soo I have the number to another place I am going to call on Monday to see if I can get in and find out how much this is going to cost me. Im a little worried about $$ right now. Boo.
I have an appointment with my PCP on Moday afternoon to have my annual pap smear and lab work done. I plan to use that visit to inform her that I am in the process of getting approved for weightloss surgery and I need her to start documentig some things in my chart. haha. I have chronic Knee and joint pain but I never complain to my Doc about it b/c I already know she is going to say that I need to lose weight. Valid point, but not helpful. When I spoke to the case manager assigned to me by my insurance company she said I need to show 6month documentation of my knee pain. Sooo while Im doing my 6 month diet I'm going to start complainging about my knee pain. haha.
I've been feeling really discouraged about WLS lately.....scared that Im not going to get approved and stuff.
I got a sweet new Cupcake tattoo this week. My most awesome best friend finally broke down and did it for me. haha I also got a little tiny fire cracker next to it. It was sooooooooo painful I can't evn lie right in the "ditch" of my arm (inside of elbow usually where they draw blood from) sucked really bad and even bruised up! I will post a pic when it is all healed up.
WOW

YEAH Im on my way! So exciteing.
Seminar!
Jun 20, 2009
I went to my surgeons seminar on Thursday and It went really well. I like the surgeon a lot and since he had the seminar in his office I got to go ahead and have my consult with him then. Which was awesome b/c his office is about an hour and half away from where I live. He was very informative his office staff was awesome. I have decided to have the RNY done instead of a lap-band. His insurance coordinator talked to me for a long time about my insurance requirements. She was very knowledgeable and assured me that this process was going to go smoothly and that she would take care of everything.
Next step is to do a sleep study to see if I have sleep apnea. My surgeons office works with a sleep study center so they will be contacting me to set everything up! One less person for me to worry about finding time to call. lol
So here is my to do list:
Sleep Study
Psych Eval
Nutritionist appointment
6 month Healthy Weight Management program thru my insurance company
ack!

I am scheduled to go to a seminar with Dr. Cribbins on Thursday! Im really really excited I printed off the paperwork from his website and filled out everything and made copies of my insurance card to take with me. I'm not sure how his office works but 4 yrs ago when I went to another surgeons seminar he had us fill out an entire packet of info and his office used that to submit a letter to the insurance company for preapproval. Sooooooo excited Im going to be getting the ball rolling this week!!
Here again.
