Frustrated!!

I haven't posted on here for awhile. But, after long months of putting it off I have finally taken all the steps to get this surgery done, and I"m even approved by my insurance. The thing holding me up, is my sleep study. The hospital is not cooperating with the Dr's office and now the surgery date just keeps getting pushed back further and further. Please tell me someone out there feels or has felt like I do. (I've been crying all day)

Amy, Be of good courage. I've learned when things come to me real easy don't appreciate them as much as things that cause me to fight a little harder, wait a little longer,i in tolerating Dr's delays. I had the surgery in November 2004. Last minute things kept popping up. One day before my paper work was due in my doctor's office, I found out that I needed a complete cardiac clearance. Things like this occured one after another. They would run a test and find another problem then I had to go through another set of tests. You deserve the surgery so just keep the "Prize" in focus which is a thin, healthy you. I know this is so cluseous but, "Dont swet the small stuff keep your goal in view. Big hug!!! Mary Rose ps ( I need to change my picture I'm 136 pounds down since Noveber).

HIJACK!!!! Mary, It's so nice to see another "lusbianite" in the board. I also live in Lusby and had weight loss surgery on 3/1/05. Now down 117 pounds and feeling like a new person - physically and mentally. Sounds as if you've done well also. Keep up the good work. If you would ever like to get together as a mini support group, please email me. Take care, TraciL

Thank you for the encourging words. I think the thing that frustrates me the most is that I have to have this surgery in the next month or so or I won't be approved by my employer to take the time out until May (I'm a teacher) and that frustrates me more. I'm going to keep my head up and try to stop crying.

Amy- I don't know what kind of insurance you have, but I would try Franklin Square Hospital for your sleep study. I had to get an appointment right away and they were able to accomadate me.

I went to GBMC's sleep study and they were very prompt. Give them a try. Don't stress too much. Everything will work itself out. Good luck!

I had my sleep study at Sinai, and they took me very quickly. Good luck!
