Kristy,

Sorry you had such a bad time, but at least it's over right! Hopefully the outcome will be good and they can figure out why you're not sleeping. I am an insomniac as well, so I'm with ya girlie!

WORST NIGHT OF MY LIFE

4-9-08 Worst night of my life!

 

Okay so the day before yesterday I found out I was going to have a sleep study, which is short notice but okay, I can be on board with that.

 

I first need to say my family is always there my sweet, supportive sister took Spencer over night so Alan did not have to take vaction time, we are trying to save as much vaction as possiable so we have have nice vaction times this summer, "So Kelly if you are reading this thanks with all my heart"

Okay so I went into the sleep study last night and it was Horriable, awful, stressful, and nothing I have ever expeienced in my LIFE,  now for all of you that know me well, I have had some major health problems in my life and there has been times I have been scared, so sick and some time felt like I might even die, but I HAVE NEVER FELT SO MUCH ANXIETY AND JUST A FEELING I CANT EVEN DESCRIBE THEN I DID LAST NIGHT.  It was BAD REALLY BAD, I WONT GET INTO IT, BUT THE NURSING STAFF WAS HORRIABLE,  I smailed in this picture because I was allowed my ambeim and it was the only time the whole day yesterday and last night that I felt a little relaxed and that I might get some sleep, WELL THAT WAS SHORT LIVED.  You know its kinda crazy you would think after all my surgerys and procedures I have had in my life this would be a cake walk, NOTTTTTTTTTTT!   Man I needed to vent, I feel like I could just ball, and I dont want to be negitive and " Scream someone out"  But I am not going to get treated like I did and not say something, so I will be contacting my doctors tomorrow, I just couldn’t do it today, been so thankful I have been home, its amazing I got home at 7:45 am and Alan picked up Spencer then went to the hospital cause i left my pillow there and he got home at 8:15 am and I was in the shower and when I got out and saw him I just wraped my arms around him and cryed and cryed, and Spencer begged to go lay in his bed so that aloud me to lay down and its amazing when I layed down next to my spouse and he put is arm around me how safe, comfortable, and how fast I fell asleep. 

 

I felt like sharing with you this because some of the hardest things in life can be the easyest and the things you would think would be a peice of cake are a nightmare!

 

Love you all! Kristy

Tonight: Sleep Study/Update tailbone.

Tuesday: 4-8-08 4:48 pm

I am so tired today, I did my 3 mile walk but I am extreamly tired, I guess that is a good thing because I am going into the hospita to have a sleep studyl, since Rny Gastric byapss there has only been 2 things that bother me and that is my tailbone and sleeping, I have always had sleep problems even before just two sick then to worry about it then, well now that alot of my medical problems are gone I feel this needs to be addressed, something that is so crazy is my doctor call this am and said my insurance would not pay for my sleep study, I was thinking they will pay for a RNY gastric bypass but wont pay for a 3000 dollar sleep study, so I called my husbands work and they said they were re-nogstioting the policy thru the company and trying to add it because it was in the employees best interest to be rested because the type of work they do, well I am not going to comapain, I have had so many wonderful gifts regaurding my medical stuff and health that we will pay for it, but the insurance company said if they pass it, it will get retroactive back to pay for it as long as my detuctable is met, which it is. Thank the Lord!

I am a little nervous about going into the hospital over night with a bunch of wires, but all be okay, I was hoping never to be back in a hospital ever unless it was to have a baby.... I just give it to God to help me gt thruthings like this, Also as many of you know I was suppost to go into St likes merdian to get a epideral injection for my tailbone, but because the pain was so far down they wanted to get someone with more experience with that area on board, so they did and they changed the kind of injection they will try cortizone right on the bone, this will be on the 30th of April Yeaaa, I cant wait to try differn't excercises that I really cant do right now because of these issues.  Everything will be great, I will keep everyone posted. Havve a great week. Kristy

Your doctor can supply some of the information about your history of dieting but it's mostly a list of diets and dates and weight losses/gains that you fill out.  Here is Dr. Korn's list of requirements but it's not Medicaid's list.  Most of it is the same but there are some differences.  You need to talk to a surgeon and they have all the info you need. 1.  Office visit with surgeon 2.  Gastric bypass video 3.  Gastric bypass seminar 4.  Gastric bypass support group meeting 5.  Develop exercise plan 6.  Nutritional Consult 7.  Psychological Consult 8.  Pulmonology Consult 9.  Cardiology Consult 10.  Office visit with surgeon to set surgery date. 11.  Pre-op class @ St. Luke's 12.  Pre-op visit with surgeon 13.  Surgery!

thanks for the info. You couldnt possibly tell me the exact requirements could you? Oh and one more thing I know that you have to show you been dieting for 5 years, now does that have to be a steady stream of paperwork or can I find my old doctor and show proof that he gave me diet pills and I was on a diet regimen?

Hello Tiff!  My wife Christeen (luckylady18) is also on pure Medicaid and she's having Dr Korn do her surgery.  She's in the insurance approval process now and I'm hoping it works out.  Yes, start with your doctor and get started now.  It takes a few months but don't give up.

Dr. Ko in Twin Falls used to do the RNY, and although he doesn't anymore, maybe he could at least be a local follow-up doc for you.
