I am a bit frustrated today. My last appt with my PCP was good until I mention having chest pains while mowing grass on a very hot and muggy Saturday. My doctor knows I have asthma and I told her that I thought this a respiratory issue and nothing to do my heart. She ordered a stress test and another EKG, my insurance company has denied both saying that I do not need this.

Between vacations, I have yet to speak to my doctor but I did talk to her nurse yesterday. I told the nurse that I was fine and this issue is holding up my request for the Gastric Bypass Surgery. My insurance requires a six-month trail, which I have done, and now this.

I am so ready for the next chapter in my life. I pray about this each day and for a sign that I am doing the right thing and hope that this not the sign.

As anyone else had this type issues while waiting for approval, encouraging thoughts will help me today!!!

Hi I would make an appointment with that doctor and explained to him just what you stated above that you were experience pain because you over did it and it was hot, I would also explained to him that my insurance will not cover any more test because they feel its not warranted and you would like to proceed wit you surgery. Good luck my friend and hang in there , we are all pulling for you.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
