Rita,
Congratulations and I am so glad things are working out with your doc. It sounds like they were turned upside down for a while but that it's getting better now.
Take care and keep in touch.

Topic: RE: every emotion there is
I am so so sorry you are going through this. I can't believe that they did this to you. Can you appeal the decision? Did they know you had FM before hand?

Topic: every emotion there is
I was suppose to have surgery today. They just told me last Friday (after all the expensive testing) that it was postponed for 12 months).
I have fibromyalgia (FM) which has many illnesses. Chronic pain being number one. They canceled because of this.
I'm to upset to tell my story now, but I will later.
Can anyone tell me how I update my status of my surgery?
Also, anybody out there that has FM that was able to get one of the bariatric surgeries?
BEWARE of ST. VINCENT HOSPITAL in CARMEL, INDIANA. They knew they weren't going to let me have surgery, but told me they were and had me do all the expensive preop testing, doctor visits, pain therapy, etc. befort telling me. I was just notified last Friday. That was 10 minutes after they called me to say I was moved up to 10am instead of noon. I met all criteria. My insurance approved right away, but they backed up because of my FM or some financial scam. I had read about this on this very site. I didn't pay attention. Please pay attention and save money.

Topic: Frustrated!
I am just getting so hungry for something anything but liquids! How are you all dealing with this? I feel like its been forever since I've eaten anything that I have had to chew! I guess it really hasn't been that long, but I find my mough watering everytime I see people on TV eating anything! I don't even eat seafood but the other day I was craving lobster after watching someone enjoy one on TV!! 
Please tell me I not the only one struggling with this post op diet!

Topic: RE: Karen C is out of surgery AND TEXTING!
I'm happy for you Karen C. #1. that you got to have your surgery today. No pain wow. I wish I could say that some day. I'm Karen C. from Indiana. My surgery was more or less canceled for today. They called it postponed. It is because of my fibromyalgia (FM) for which chronic pain is one of the main issues. They didn't let me know until last Friday. This is the 3rd hospital I've tried. I'm out a couple a grand. Out of money and out of insurance the end of January. However, i am not giving up. I will become a moe active member of the National Fibromyalgia Organization as a paient advocate. Specializing in obsese patients who now have to fight for bariatric surgery. Sorry for my rampage... I am still angry from this hospital scheduling all the expensive testing and classes that had me travel an hour and a half each way when they new they weren't going to let me have the surgery. It is a scam.
The is your day and I do wish you all the best. My time will come in God's time. I must be more patient.
Take care and God bless Karen C. *1
