Summer Rain

Awesome job!

Congratulations and good luck! 3 months will fly by.

Good luck! I hope you have an unremarkable recovery Summer

you can buy sample sized pkgs at Vitamin Shoppe and GNC. This is what I have been doing and I have found (Vitamin Shoppe) nectar Sweets chocolate truffle flavor and the vanilla are not too bad. I think the samples were like $1.99 each. Good luck, I hope you find one you like Summer

Good morning and I hope everyone is doing well today. I would love some opinions on what my next step should be. I finished my final weigh in with my PCP for my medically supervised weight loss program on 9/16/14. I had finished all other requirements the week prior to that. When I got home on 9/16 after my final weigh in I e-mailed my patient advocate to tell her that I was finished and she should be receiving my paperwork within the next 24 hours and that if she needed me to do anything to help the process along to let me know. She emailed me back that she would let me know when it was submitted to insurance. I waited till the following Tuesday and emailed her again as I had not heard anything else from her. Got an automated reply that she was on vacation from Sept 17 thru the 23 (I think she could have mentioned that she was going to be out of the office since I had just had contact with her). So on the 24th I emailed her again and she replied saying the bariatric coordinator had my file and she should have it back by the end of the day. So I don't hear anything else from her. On 10/1 I emailed her again with no response. I called and left a voice mail for her yesterday at 9:30 am with no reply. I left another message this morning. My question is if I do not hear back from her today do you think it is appropriate that I contact her supervisor? I am open to any suggestions that you may have. I just don't want them to think that I am a trouble maker or anything but I am kind of tired of being ignored. I have worked in a busy multi-physician office before and we would never end the work day without our messages all being returned. This is just getting on my last nerve. Thanks for any advice or words of wisdom. My feelings will not be hurt if you all think I should be patient a while longer. Thanks again. Summer

Thank you ladies! I just got off the phone with the insurance company and I was approved this morning! The surgeon's office will call to schedule my preop class and I think I get my surgery date at the class. I am so excited!

Congratulations!!

Congratulations!

I haven't had surgery yet but I just want to say Hi and I know you will get lots of good information from the wonderful people on this site. Good luck! Summer

@@#9grammy thank you! I just put in a call to my insurance company but of course I had to leave a voice mail lol. I will give them today to see if they call back. I just have a sinking feeling that it has not been submitted yet. I can see that I have made some change in my life though because I have not eaten my way through this frustration and anxiety : ) @@shellyd88 You are right. We ALL are busy. I have thought about going to the office but I work longer hours than they do so I would have to wait till next Tuesday since I don't start work until 2 on Tuesdays. I just want to get scheduled so I can request the time off and I would love for it to be THIS year. edited to add the following: @@#9grammy wow only 20 more days to go! I bet you are so excited! Good luck and I will keep track of your progress

Congratulations! I low you have to be over the moon excited. Good luck!

Aribay congratulations! You are almost there . Good luck! Summer

Welcome Bigdog56! There is a lot of information on this site. The people are friendly and helpful. I am stil waiting to have surgery but I wanted to say hi and good luck! Summer

Awesome! What an inspiration

Make another appointment with him and ask him to his face what he requires and while you are at it ask him why he hasn't returned phone calls to you or your surgeon's office. Good luck. I hope you get it all straightened out. Summer

Beautiful! You have done a wonderful job. . Summer

You look awesome! Congratulations! Summer

That's awesome

JCP that is so romantic. my husband and I will be celebrating our 25th in 2016. Maybe we will do the same

Andrew0929 I am right there with you! I hope after my surgery that I lose all desire for pizza.

Yay!!!

Pik I hate to hear that you are having more problems. Hope you get better quickly! Summer

Do not feel guilty. Just do better tomorrow. We will all have moments here and there were we aren't perfect. Summer

My apologies. I was able to read two whole threads yesterday without it freezing so I assumed that the problem was fixed. I was awake about 2:30 this morning unable to sleep and found that it is still freezing. I guess I jumped the gun on that one lol

Good luck today! I hope everything goes well and you have a speedy recovery! Summer
