Okay so I saw my doctor day are you going to class and and had already previously done the 6 month diet and it was supervised so at the end of the day meeting with the doctor the coordinator comes in to tell me that's because I missed the month of March I would have to redo my 6 month thankfully I have kept up with my doctor for the last 2 so they said that could be put towards my 6 month but I still have to do another 4. the thing that pisses me off the most is the fact that I work so hard for the 6 month and sent so much money to help me lose weight and now I can't even use it because I miss a month due to the death of my mother is not right I feel like crying. Sorry I just wanted to vent I've been looking so forward to meeting the doctor and getting all this stuff ready so I can do this surgery and get healthy because I missed month now I have to wait even longer. thank you to anybody who is listening.

I know you're frustrated right now but just don't give up. Unfortunately there probably isn't anything you can do you will have to do the extra 4 months. But use the progress you've made so far as motivation. In the big picture four months is nothing compaed to a lifetime of health. Don't stress about it, its a setback but it doesn't mean you have to fail or give up!

Thank you Teresa. I'm not giving up. It just makes me upset that I spent all this time and money for nothing.

I'm so sorry about your loss of your mother. I'm sure that it is heartbreaking to have this delay on top of everything else. My surgeon's office told us over and over again about not missing 1 month or having to start over (obviously it was out of your control in this case). One thing they recommended was to make each appointment early in the month, so if you needed to reschedule, you could still do so within the same calendar month. That might be something to try just to make sure you get the 6 months in.

No I know its not the Doctor. I think the insurance should have something where if u miss a month then u have to do just one month not having to do the whole thing over.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
