I am having reoccurate sinusitis myself. I am waiting on appointments in Columbus, my road to surgery has been bumpy, after thinking my surgery was a sure thing I got kicked to the curb by program #1, now I'm waiting on a call from program#2 and their staff psychologist. I have any appointment with PCP this AM to see whether he can make me better or if I need to see my ENT. It will be just ducky if I have to see,psych clogged, sneezing or nose dripping. They are not going think I'm healthy enough for anything .Do I can sure empathize with you. Keep me updated and I'll do the same for you, okay? Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank You MzReality. I am hopeful things will turn around soon. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Sounds almost like you're in a parallel Universe, a psychologist who doesn't make eye contact, a doctor that you haven't met, a nutritionist with a paper diet, phones that don't get answered, a nurse practitioner who never answers questions? Yep, sounds like the Twilight Zone to me! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

That was going to be my suggestion that,or a massage. New hairdo, maybe a garden show, a trip,to a nearby locale you haven't been to before.There are places in my state, I didn't have the endurance to do before..How about a movie you've wanted to see, a concert, a stage show?

I'm sure your records should transfer, the insurance hmmm? Did you make sure BCBS Fed has the new hospital,and surgeon in their network? If not you might have to see,if they'll run you as a Single Case. Another,person on BP who works in the insurance industry called it that. Means that although they might be not contracted there they let you through as kind of special thing. I don't have to worry, Medicare is accepted most everywhere, it can be a cash cow for them. Medicare doesn't pay top dollar for procedures but they do pay steadily. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Are you going to get a sweatshirt that says that? Maybe: Obesity--' Every Day I have it less and less! I think I want one that says "Former Cutie-Pie" or maybe "Working my Way back to Thin". How about "Warning! My Cute is Coming Back!" Yeah I like that one. Another for you- OMG Now I'm Just Obese! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Flavor it with Crystal light or Mio. Drink green or herbal tea. The warmth of that might be a nice change up. Put ice in it, some people prefer that to body temprature. Utilize sugar free popsicles, is there any flavor you really like? I like strawberry kiwi, probably,will put some in my hospital bag, fruit punch flavor got sorta wearying after a while and I loathe watermelon flavored anything.
