Noticable

Jul 29, 2007

I went to work on Friday. i had to pick up some tickets that were being sent there. Everyone was very happy to see me. some people in the building wondered where I've been.I just told them I was on medical leave. But the best thing to happen is the ladies at the post office stopped me and asked how much I lost. I told them and then they asked how I did it. I told them and they were impressed. They didnt know I had Bypass surgery and it just felt good that they noticed.

I broke 200!!

Jul 26, 2007

Woo Hoo! 
I broke 200lbs.! 
Yea!

More Insurance woes!

Jul 25, 2007

Ok I got a bill yesterday from Bon Secours for $1,300.00 (pre op testing)
Tricare denied the claim.

I called Tricare and all they wanted was a code for the diagnosis in other words Gastric bypass just the code.  

 So I called Bon Secours to tell them that. They informed me that that information would have to be given to them by the doctor’s office.

 So today when I went over there to tell them that, they gave me the codes and told me to call billing. I told them that is not what Bon Secours require and they blew me off.

 So I called Bon Secours with the codes and they told me that I could not give them the codes. They will only accept them on letterhead (from the surgeons office) faxed to them.

 

 

I have to ask myself are these adults handling this process. Such a lack of communication. You all should be ashamed of yourselves!


4 week docs appointment ( 3 1/2 Weeks)

Jul 25, 2007

I had my 4 week appointment today, Yes it’s only been 3 ½ weeks.
I now can have Fish, tuna, and canned chicken, crab Yea! And fat freef mayo. And fat free crackers.

On Sunday I woke up at 4am with a stabbing pain in my back. I went and took an oxycodone, then went back to bed thinking I only strained a muscle (I was in the strangest positions while reading Harry Potter that day).

Well I told Dr. Hutcher about that and he got concerned that I may have had a blood clot that broke off in the lung so he listened to my lungs and gave me a little test.
Things came back OK. ,But he said that if it happens again I should call him immediately! So don’t forget to take your Aspirin!
Otherwise he was Happy. I lost 17.5 lbs in 22 days. (Happy Snoopy dance}

My scab is coming off.. I think the cocoa butter I used is helping the "glue come off as well. Got the Harry potter book , am taking a down day and read!
I posted my scar dont get too grossed out. hehe.

I got my order of whey Protien Bullet( 45 Protein Grams) from www.bariatriceating.com. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS BY ITSELF! ( Nasty) so I mixed with Crystal Light Orange. It's OK not great . Will go back to www.Ungery.com  Maybe half the protein(20 Grams) but great taste.
