Im So dicouraged......

Thank you Gail,

I orginally was going to go with Dr H. Somehow I got lost in the sauce and they forgot about me. So I started over with Dr E. Thank you so much for the encouragement. AND I CANT WAIT TO SAY I GOT MY DATE!!! lolol that rymed and I'm not sure I meant it too....lol

Jodi

We are in the same boat.  My insurance company said I was approved on Monday.  Neither Dr. E's office or I have received a letter yet.  So, I just keep waiting.  It took over 6 weeks and 3 faxes for my insurance to even acknowledge that received my paperwork.  I also know that Dr E has about a 4 month wait on surgeries right now..... guess we just have to be patient together.

Yea I think that Dr E. Dsnt actally send the paper wor****il the 30th day even though they say they send it no ones paperwork was recived bye the insurance company from Dr Es office until about 30 days out. Including me and My Friend.  My other friend she has The Lady Doctor and she was approved really fast with the insuranc.e I think she might get her date befor me and she just started the whole process a couple months ago. But I actually thought that the same people handle all three doctors.  In Dr Es group?  There is like 4 people just in my department @ work who are getting this surgry. all with the same group of Doctors ..lol So There is a pattern. But it all goes back to the fact that I think there is sooooo many people getting it done there isnt enough time or staff to handle the overwelming  demand for the surgery. So I have to keep that in mind to stay sentive I guess.

Keep me informed about your statuse also.

I cant spell worth a darn!!!...and somtimes I find myself Texting...when I type..lol
 

Hi,
 Sweety, we do understand! Alot of us have gone thru long waits- aren't they the worst? The important thing is you are approved, and your day will come!!! I know I must have made a hole in the carpet pacing waiting for "the phone call"~ it took 3 weeks to set-up get a date, then another 2 mo. till my surgery.You'll have pre-opt testing going on, then the Dieticians meetings, etc. so alot is going to go on soon. Take this time to decaf /de-soda yourself, and get ready for the trip of your lifetime!Starting taking walks helped me. Hang in there girl, know that we are here for you, support you, and know what you are feeling- it's normal!

Thanks for the Hugs Ellen....I needed them sooooooo much. And thank you for this reply it was so soothing to know that you have a whole in your carpet too...!! lol.

DE SODA!!!......I was able to stop smoking after 23  years....but that darn SODAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!.....they need to make a pill for  anti  soda....

Or mabee a 12 step soda program!
Or Soda sanonnomus!

Sweet Pea I am so sorry that I was so uncaring! I can't believe that came out of my brain. Please forgive me and just know that I am truly sorry for what I said! I am going to start praying for you to get your date soon! Please don't give up and pray with me that your date will come soon. I hope that I did not discourage you so much that you will not want to come back here. It is a great source of support and I ought to be ashamed to have spoken to you in such a way! I know that if it wasn't for this website I would have no one to talk to about the things I am experiencing. Again I hope you can forgive me and I will never let it happen again!

No Mitch.....


I just didnt know how to navigate the system so I didnt even know anyone replyd to my posting.


Somtimes people need real talk....

WOW!
I am not very good at navigating this website yet. But I was looking at my page and trying to make it look like home. Like so many of your pages.

And I opened my email  and BRINGGGGGGG!! there was so many encouraging replys. THANK YOU!  Thank you! Thank you! And Mitch your right and sometimes its a hard kick in the butt for some people to snap them out of it......But all I needed was a soft kick! wink....lol
It calms my soul to know that I am not crazy or selfish and alone to be so impatient.  I want this more then anything in my life. I have lost 30 pounds, Quit smoking  and in stop smoking I have gained 15 pounds back.  I am trying really hard to stay focused and as healthy as possible befor surgery but its almost the longer time goes bye the harder it is to stay focused. So I guess I'm afraid to crash and burn per say. I am so glad I found this website. I'm addicted to looking at befor and after pictures...lol.
Dr. Es waiting list is 4 monthsssssss??? OMgoodness. My girl friend just had the surgery done bye him little over 60 days ago and . It took her 2 months after she got her date. 

Thank you again for so much support and encouragement I really needed it. And can anyone tell me how to make a picture under 20000 pixels so i can post a main photo?? lol
   

Sweetpea Hi I want to tell you how proud I am of you!It is so hard to quit smoking that if you can do that you can do anything!I hope that we at OH can help keep you focused on the brass ring! I also wish that I could help you with the changing of pixels for the picture that you want to post. The only thing I know to tell you is if you change the size of your picture by making it smaller will change your pixels. I don't know if that has helped you any, but try that on your picture management program, and good luck! Here are some ((((((HUGS)))))))! Michelle
