I thought I was all set, but now...
Aug 14, 2009
Well, I had been calling my surgeon's office, begging to get my surgery date moved up, but no luck. Too bad, cuz now I'm thinking I have chosen the wrong surgery. I was reading some posts on the RNY site and this huge fight broke out between RNYs and DS. It was a bloody knock down drag out! But, a couple of RNY people said if they had known about DS or if their insurance had paid, etc., they probably would have had the DS. So, my interest piqued, I started looking into the DS. I now feel this is the better surgery for me, and contacted my surgeon's office to set up an appointment to discuss this with him. The girl who answered said I should speak to the financial person first. That sounds ominous! I had my husband go on line to do his own research, independent of mine, and he came to the same conclusion. Now I feel like I'm in limbo until at least Monday when the financial person is back in the office.On another note, the hospital called me this morning to preregister me. Yay, I said to myself, it is finally starting to happen. She then informed me that not only had my surgeon upped his downpayment to almost twice what it was a year ago, when I first tried to have the surgery done, but the hospital requires $8000.00 downpayment! It may as well be $8 million dollars! Now what am I going to do?!? I have to talk to my husband and see if there are any possibilities for coming up with this kind of money. I guess I could sell my car, but then how will I get around? We live out in the country and no car would be a heck of an inconvenience, not to mention the fact that I LOVE my car like a child!
I feel doomed.
