    Very frustrated

    Good evening ladies and gents, i will like to start off by saying everyone looks great, keep up good work. I need to vent, im beginning to think that im not meant to have my vsg, dont get me wrong on this year long journey i have done everything i am supposed to do, my insurance even approved my surgery after 4 days after being submitted, 1st my surgeon switched locations so after being given a date for feb 24 my surgery was cancelled because i had to wait for the surgeons credentials to transfer over to the new facility, well it finally cleared and i was hit with some more testing that i completed in a weeks time. My info was submitted and approved so i got my date for may 11th, yay!!! After a week of waiting for my pre admission testing i receive a call from my surgeons office telling my that my surgery is once again cancelled because the hospital im having my surgery at is no longer covering any bariactric surgery for patients with Medicaid because they claim they are losing money off and surgeries through medicaid, thats crazy so now i have to wait for 30 days until my surgeon finds another hospital that accepts medicaid. Or make a payment arrangement with the hospital to pay for my surgery out of pocket. My surgeon is upset but dealing with it because the majority of his patients are on medicaid and he dont intend on changing up on his patients now. So now im feeling s little discouraged because i worked so hard to get to this point and if i wait any longer im gonna have to do some repeat testing. Im already in enough pain and cant barely walk because i have problems with my joints in my hips that i was told will get better once i lose the weight, but no matter what i still go to work everyday and push through the pain. I have diabetes, high cholesterol, sleep apnea and arthritis, im just ready to start my new life and be here for my children and husband because this is not a good quality of life especially when you have to take pain meds everyday! Thanks for listening and keep me in your prayers. Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App
