Recommended Posts

hello everyone , I'am so frustrated , why you may ask well first off i am extremely sensitive and i was going about making all the appointments i needed to make for the lap band and i been trying to find a psychologist that takes my insurance cause i would have to pay out of pocket for for nutritionist and psychologist and it would be 500 all together im trying to just pay out of pocket for the nutritionist so anyway i made 2 appointments already one for the cardiologist and one for the pulmonary doctor but i need a referal from my primary doctor cause its required by my insurance , i called trying to get them and my doctor got on the phone and was like "what's going on?" and im like im trying to get referals and hes like " what for ? who wants them ? " with this attitude and im like wtf! so i told him to remind him im having the lapband done by dr geiss and hes like " who is that?" and im like he's up the island so then he says well i need you to have him fax over everything you need done cause i dont know whats going on then he hangs up on me

so i start crying and then call my surgeons office and try to explain to her what a cock my primary doctor is and how he wants me to have dr geiss fax info over and shes giving me a attitude saying "what are you talking about" and im like "are you serious ???? " so she says just go to his office and show him the papers so now i need to go to my primary doctors tomorrow which is 30 min away to show him everything im having done on a piece of paper lets hope he accepts that , man in just sick of people with attitudes how can i do this when no one is wanting to help me im soo frustrated:frown:

Night, the whole process can be and IS extremely stressful for many of us. I went through many many months of Dr. visits and going from one Dr. to another.

It’s all a part of the game. Try and take a deep breath and remember what it’s all about. If there is an alternative, I’d go for it. I did in fact. I chose to go to a Psych that wasn’t necessarily recommended by my insurance company. I paid out of pocket for it and the reason was the Dr. I was sent to kept putting me off. Then when he finally scheduled me an Appt it was a long time in the future. I’d already waited long enough.

I hope all goes well for you. Just try to be more patient with those you are dealing with and for the time involved. You surgery will definitely be apon you before you know it!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
