I figured I better give a brief update.
I had to delay calling surgeon (this time my situation, not problems with doctors) due to some money issues (can't pay co-pays without money ya know). But I did finally call and was supposed to have appointment on the 19th (May). I got a call back to find out that in 06, when all this began, the nutritionist put down I wouldn't be elegible because I smoke and drank.
Drank? A few times a year (maybe once a month or so if even that much considering I'll go months on end without touching booze, and usually its wine unless I go to the bar, which is next to never) means I get rejected? OMFG. Needless to say I freaked. I'm so stressed out its making me sick. The smoking I can see, but the drinking?
Anywho, I see the nutritionist on the 20th and then can call surgeon's office again, IF she says I am eligible. How ironic is that. 5 doctors and a therapist recommend the suregery and a non doctor could screw my chance up.
I am so close to giving up. But I can't. I won't. But if this surgery doesn't go through soon, I'm gonna loose my job. My work will find a way to get rid of me. Considering they basically forced me to take this temporary disability I'm still not working. Which btw I got denied 3 times so until work went ahead and put me on unemployment, I went with 0 income for 6 months!
Yea its been an insane time and I hope no one else goes through anything near what I'm going through. It seems like nothing but problem after problem after problem.
Anywhoo, Thank you so much to everyone that is still continuing to show me support. I really appriciate it more then you'll ever know.
BTW I've decided to go with the lap-band. If regular readers will recall, thats been an issue I've struggled with on deciding. I feel more comfortable with the band then the actual bypass. My luck, I need to go with the less dangerous anyway.
I hope everyone is having a great spring or fall or whatever time of year it is for you.
I promise I will make an update next week after I see nutritionist and hopefully surgeon will get me in again too.
More to be written later.
