I feel so selfish...



Recommended Posts

My info should be to sent to insurance sometime this week. It would of been last week but insurance coordinator was not in the office. Now she is playing catch up. I feel so bad because I am fussing to everyone about having to wait an extra few days to be submitted and many you guys and gals have to wait 3 months, 6 months, or even longer to complete your journeys and I just started mine on March 3rd of this year. I am very anxious about this whole ordeal. I want to get excited but I am afraid I am going to be denied. I meet all the qualifications and I have a whole laundry list of comorbidities. Is it normal to be anxious, nervous, and excited all at the same time? I wish everyone well.

I don't think your being selfish.

I think that you just want to get on with your surgery so you can begin a new stage in your life.

Being all those emotions that you are experiencing is normal.

Good luck to you.

It sounds like you're feeling exactly how I felt. When I actually schedule my surgery I thought "I'm not going to sleep for the next month" My neves calmed down as it go closer. I don't blame you for being a bit annoyed at the delay. My final appointment with my surgeon was on the 8th and the office didn't send my paper work until the 22nd. I was more than a little annoyed.

You're not selfish, just ready to start your journey to a new and healthier you. You are very fortunate your journey to this point has been speedy, Just hang in there, it will be approved and surgery date will be here before you know it. Keep us posted.

I think what you are feeling is normal. Take a deep breath and try to relax. You will do just fine.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
