I am so annoyed by this process!

As a person who has never in life been sickly, had surgery, been admitted to a hospital, this process is beyond my comprehension.

Not only am I dealing with a myriad of doctor's offices and appointments, the medical bills are overwhelming.

I knew the process wouldn't be cheap but I'm just thoroughly pissed off at all of it right now at a point where I'm nowhere near completion of any requirements to even submit to insurance to have surgery...

Do you have someone who could support you through all this. It's overwhelming to do it all alone and I find when I am like that, talking it through with someone and making a list prioitising what i need to do and when really does help.

I understand your frustration. It's a boat load of information and appointments. It's really a major change in your life. Therefore, getting prepared to alter your body requires a lot of necessary paperwork, blood test, etc....These test helped me prepare my body for surgery. It showed me what nutrients my body was missing...Hang in there!!!...I'm sure it will all be worth it....invest in yourself!

In 2 days of testing, I racked up over $25,000 in medical bills, my portion was $1100, but, trust me I understand your pain. It really is about sticking with it! Vent, rant and keep pushing! I'm waiting for my approval now. So I'm still right there with you! It'll work out if you trust the process!

My roommate is going through the process right now as we but her situation is different and less involved but she's definitely a source of support.

Thank you for your response and kind words!

You're definitely right...I'm just in an angry place I guess.
