Just here to whine..

The insurance company just pissed on my parade. It seems my insurance will require the 6 month monitored diet program, because i'm with the federal government. Seems there is a clause in our policies only. Not sure I understand the reason for that, but i'm bummed. So instead of May.. I guess it will be sometime in the fall. Sucks to be me right now...-lol- The office will call me tomorrow with the "official" word.. but the clause says it all.

Hi Lori, Alot of us here had to do the 6 month supervised weight loss visit. Unfortunately some insurances requires it. I ended up doing 3 months instead because my doctor has a multiple thing going on with the supervised weight loss and Aetna accepted 3 months instead. There is some testing you need to get done and in the meantime just schedule those throughout the waiting time and when you come to see your time will be here too. I was quite bummed at first too. I know what you are feeling. Best of luck sweetie. hugs, Cira

Lori I am sorry you are going trew this. It is meant o be and I heard some insurances dont make you go threw the whole diet sometimes. Your day will come and your seat is waiting for ou on the losers bench

Lori, the time will fly by and if anyone can get you through the insurance process faster it's Dr S's staff! You are in great hands with them. Since DBC stopped the Saturday support group meetings I haven't been, but when I told Dr S that I really missed group, he suggested that maybe I try coming down once a month or so on a Thursday. I haven't quite figured out a schedule for that, but even at 3 years out I think it would be helpful. Best wishes as your WLS journey continues. Hugs, Mo

Lori, Don't be discouraged. I have waited 3 years and it is well worth the wait!. I have surgery tomorrow. No matter how long it takes just remember it will be worth it! Janet

Thanks to everyone for their support. I'm feeling less bummed and little better today. I know it's a minor set-back compared to what it could be. Janet - the best of luck to you on Friday.. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Lori - Whine away, and I'll bring the cheese - remember, it's high in protein!!! I had a "required" diet too, and trust me, once I started all of the necessary testing and stuff, the time FLEW by!!! Hopefully, that'll be the case for you!!! Just hang in there, do what you need to do, and it'll all fall into place. We're here for ya! Tia
