I'm anxious !



Recommended Posts

So my last doctor appointment was the 18th of Jan and I was under the impression that it would take them at least a week tops to get it into submission because the surgeons office is pretty busy but on my last day the insurance adviser at the office told me she couldn't find my psych evaluation but she was certain it was probably in the pile of papers she had on her desk and would call me if she had any issues.

Fast forward to 3 weeks later and I'm on edge and confused because even the adviser said it shouldn't take her very long so I called the office and turns out she never even found my psych evaluation and didn't call me for 3 weeks ! I understand how busy surgeons offices can be and they're even down a surgeon who transferred to LA but I felt so confused and a little disappointed because the office was so good to me throughout my 6 month weigh in , they were always so quick and let me know if they had any problems. Granted the insurance adviser isn't there every day so I can understand at least a 2 week delay but she never even called me to get another copy. And after I talked with the psychiatrist who did my evaluation he said that she looked through a pile of papers and she found it so like I don't even think she touched it until I called lol idk ! Once she found it she told me either that week (it was last week, Thursday) she will submit it or early next week. I'm really anxious abt that considering our history and I'm not sure whether I should call to make sure she submitted which like I understand in a lot of surgeon offices they don't like that? Lmao I'm not going to let this completely sour the surgery or anything I just want to know how any of you maybe with bad history during this process would handle this? I'd like to just trust it will get done but I don't want another 3 weeks of complete silence

Thank you

I would call. I didn't have any issues like that but because you did have an issue I would just explain that there was a previous issue and you just want to check to make sure all is well

      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? 🤷‍♀️
