Wow I just love having to do the Dr.'s work and the insurance's work for them!!! I called the Dr to see if they had submitted my paperwork to insurance, and come to find out they wanted me to see the psych one more time...nice of them to tell me...then I had to call the insurance company because the two times I saw the psych they denied as out of network....but guess what...she is...so they are having to resubmit the claim...I just need to have this over with!!!!!

Also on a side note, was extremely embarrassed today! Went to give blood and found out I'm too fat. MY HUSBAND WORKS FOR THE RED CROSS!!! I flipped out on him!! Why didn't he tell me the weight limit???? He could have saved me a whole lot of embarrasment!!!

sorry to hear you are having such issues! Keep working on it...it is SO worth it!

I didnt know they had a weight limit to donate blood...I have given for years and weighed 375 lbs when I dontated before.... I have only given once since having wls. But gave many times before.

Oh no I'm so sorry did you smack him?

They told me today that the weight limit was 350 lbs. I couldn't smack him, we were at church!!

Sorry to hear. I agree..if u don't push the ins. They will drag. And your hubby.....U could have. Even in a sanctuary that slap would of been forgiven!

I just called and I can't get back into the pysch until July 1. I was hoping to actually have my surgery that week. I'm just so freaking dissapointed!!! I don't understand why they want me to see her again, when she cleared me.

Hang in there! I started with only needing 6 months of pre op stuff and its turned into 11 months but well worth the wait. It will be here faster than you know

Never heard of their being a weight limit to donate blood... I've never had any issues.

Wow, guess I slid by (without lying about my weight none the less) when I weighed at least 375... Guess the were happy to get my blood! They sure call me once a week now for it!

I think I'd have taken the black mark and gave my hubby a good bop in the nose....even if at church! LOL

According to the Red Cross, there is no upper limit on weight when donating, however, there may be a weight limit for the donor bed/lounge they are using. So perhaps that was the problem?
