Surgeon Consult done - more confused now than ever :o(

I really didn't learn anything that I hadn't already learned reading all the messages here!

 

Now I have to have an appointment with Real Results for my surgery clearances. I am so darn confused. I thought I had to meet my insurance requriements which were psych and 6 mo weight loss. The surgeon wasn't very clear on what I would do at this appt and the receptionist there said I would meet with the NP, who would tell me what else I have to do. I am going to have to learn patience! LOL!

 

I just did not expect it to take months to get even close to getting a surgery date. Seems like each visit creates one more visit. Sorry to sound so down, I was just expecting so much more out of today's visit.

    Write down your questions when you go in. I know that seems simplistic, but it helps me because I get flustered and don't get my questions asked. Even something as simple as "when do you expect my surgery to be?" or "what steps need to be taken before I schedule my surgery?" Good luck!

    Patience will help!! It took me two years of fighting my insurance company alone!! Then I gave up and became a self pay patient..then it took two weeks!! i wish you the very best not only with the procedure but as with the patience as well!!

    Thank you for your response! Patience is definetly something I have to work on. The frustrating part to me is the fact that I am a planner and no one seems to be able to tell me what the steps are to get to the finish line! UGH!
