I got screwed over

they are crazy,and they have zero respect to any of us.They are like the game makers in a series of books ive been reading and we are the players under there control,lol...I will be praying that you finally get the surg on wensday with no delays

I can't believe all the run around you guys are getting with these doctors. 
I would be like screw you.  But I understand that you want the surgery and once it is done it will be great.

Sound like this doctor's practice needs some sensitive training and a good ass kicking!!!

Stay Strong!!!

I'm tired of the run around. I've submitted all the info they wanted and went through all the visits and test that they wanted, vanessa told me everything was in order but she has not yet submitted it to medicaid for approval. She has had all the info for over 3 weeks now. I feel extremely frustrated. Every time I call to ask if it's been submitted Christen tells me she'll have Vanessa or Shiela call me and it never happens. Maybe I should just give up.

No don't give up. It will happen! Good luck

Do not give up! I am very discouraged right now but have not given up! I see them in the morning and as of now im 2 pounds heavier ,so ive lost nothing ,I had lost 9 pounds but but because of my major fluid buildup in my legs and stomach (due to lymph edema) Ive gained the weight back plus 2 pounds.I have been dieting by following the diet the dietician recomended  for diabetics,which is no sugar, low fat,high protien,only whole grains such as brown rice and whole weat bread(only 2 searvings a day) and low fat dairey,and drink lots of water.Its been  20 days and I just  could not loose the weight so im sure they will tell me  my surgury will be held off yet again.Im very upset and this stress is not at all good for me and my diabetis,but  they dont care, 

So what did they say? Just to let u know, they didn't even have to weigh the day of surgery. Keep me informed. What is ur surgery date again? Good luck, u will be on the losers bench in no time! Leigh

Hi,well my date is still the 17th of August I still did not meet Dr Bellows at all,ive been up there  now several times and was told that that visit  was to meet  dr bellows,what a joke,im thinking at this point I wont even meet him.Venessa  has me going to see my pcp every friday now to weigh in and have blood sugar checked,that has to be faxed in each week,she says that  if my sugars are  not good they will cancel also,well I told her then go ahead cause they are never good thats why I need surgury..Then she says that she is gonna call me in a hour or so with the name of a appetiet suppresant I can  buy at sams to take and we go towards cafeteria so i CAN EAT  SALAD SHE SAID THE SALAD BAR IS GOOD THERE.,so anyways I fell in the hall way on a wet spot hurt both knees and  fronts of shins that are already huge and swollen from my lymphedema,hurt my belly on the  left side cause it  hit the floor also and both ankles twisted the right one very bad.There was staff there that saw me fall and they made me  not get up and  put me on a stretcher,brought me to er which logically you thik they woulda tended to me fast but the nurse said it was a 6 to 10 hour wait  leaning toward  10 hours ,I said well Ill just see how i feel in morning and see my local dr.So they loan me a wheel chair cause  standing on my foot  hurts.We go eat then go back and see vanessa she says that if the foot in broke  they will not do surgyry (ya know any excuse) Still does not know name of appetite suppresant,so we go to hotel and I  got ice on right foot and took ibuprophren.When I get home yesterday I had exrays done and  it looks like its not broke but  just sprained bad,friday ill get report from  radiologist back.I hurt like a  make truck  hit me.But very glad its not broke! Anyone know what they appetite suppresant  is from sams she is  thinking  off,(she  waiting on a bariatric person to  call her with the name)
