Waiting
Apr 18, 2010
I really don't understand why the Dr has to do the dictation letter right in front of you. I get that they want to insure that everything they say is accurate but to hear them say everything about your obesity related issues all clumped together is really unnerving. After the appointment I kept running it thru in my head. I actually got my family Dr to give me a copy when she recieved it so I could read it again.Once you are approved to met the surgeon it does feel good to move on to the next step. Unfortunately for me I did not get approved for surgery my first time meeting Dr. Birch or my second. I have a lot of stomach fat and my BMI is over 55 so i was sent for the CT liver scan. I felt really sad, like I had done something wrong this made me lose my path a little but I have been talking a lot with my nurse and she is helping me stay focused and positive. My hope is for others to please try not to be disscouraged or to disappointed if you don't get approved for surgery right away. I know that the reasons Dr. Birch has for waiting to do my surgery are valid. He wants the surgery to be as complication free as possible but sometimes the wait is so very hard.
