Sorry to hear about your BAD experience. How long have you been taking pain meds.? When they send me to do my psych evaluation I told the nurse do I have to go to see if I'm crazy and she laugh and said no it to see if you have problems with drugs or ever been addicted to drugs! Maybe but just maybe your psych doctor said that your taking "drug" ( pain meds )? Can you stop taking pain meds. If you have too?? I'm no trying to say you're addicted or nothing like that, but just trying to see if maybe since your taking pain meds. They think those are DRUG that you can't stop taking?! That's the only thing I can think of! But have you thought about Mexico? There's a lot of people that they have done there surgery in Mexico and there very happy! The only reason I'm saying that if because your paying cash! Sorry for all that you both are going thru! -
My surgeon gave me papers the first visit and he only requires 4 day of liquid diet before surgery! I don't know why the nurse told me to start shrinking my liver if the doctor told us at the seminar that he don't ask any of his patient to do that unless they are 300 pounds or more! :0/

My fist appt with surgeon was December 5 and that was my consultation! I'm barely 40 BMI and no co-morbidly health problems except high cholesterol, I had a sleep study which it was negative because I didn't have any signs of sleep apnea and the reason why I didn't have any signs is because I didn't sleep all night! And the tech guy knew this! But the nurse from my surgeon send me to get all the pre-op test any ways. She said that I still qualify for WLS but I'm very NERVOUS of getting denied! I had my EKG test today and made and appt for my ultrasound for next Monday and I will call tomorrow for my NUT. and my psych evaluation appt. Everything is happiness so fast that it feels like is to good to be true! Plus the nurse put me in there schedule for surgery for March 7 so I'm very confuse!!!! If anybody had same or similar situation please help!!! I need some peace of mind!! -

Sassy in pink replied to re14768's topic in Insurance & Financing
Hi! I was thinking the if I was qualify I will be having surgery June or July! But when I talk to the surgeon staff they inform me that my insurgence only require 2 or 3 weight management meeting so I started in December and I just need one more meeting which is going to be February 17. So I already got a servitude date which is March 7!! I'm sooooo nervous tho!!!! I this is going to change my life of course!! So I'm scared of the unknown?!?! But happy because I'm already feeling more confident about my self and just by knowing that in a couple of months I will start getting skinny and change the way I eat and I can exercise and see results! My problem is portion control so with this surgery I will get control once again! Can't wait!!!!! Good luck to you!! -
