because my fianances have been shot these last few months.  Have not even had enough for Christmas.  I feel great and I'm getting my protein and vitamins in.  Ad I know how important it is for me to get my follow-up appointments.  I feel really bad but I can't squeeze blood from a turnip. Just had to release that.  Thank you all.  I will get my follow-up in January.

I know how you feel DL - I've sent every penny thelast 2 months to my mortgage company to try to save my house from foreclosure. I did it though. We are still slightly behind but no longer in trouble WOOO. I was terrified, lemme tell ya - but it works out in the end. Santa is having a lean year this year though. I stopped seeing the psycho doc last month too - couldnt pay for the sessions, but that was really an excuse lol the dude was a freak. He talked more than I did! IMO if you have to choose between the appt and vitamins, I'd pick vitamins unless you don't feel good.

I had to reschedule mine because of my school schedule.  I actually did not go until I was 4 months out.  Then for my 6 month visit, they had to schedule me in the 7th month.  Go figure.  I hope things get better for you soon.  I finished up Christmas shopping last night and I am sick of spending $$$.  I think we all get a bit strapped this time of year.

I'm right there with you.....I had to make another appt for my 6 month f/u.....due to the fact that I just started a new job had to wait for benefits to kick in and  needed to get back on track with money....and all my other bills. BUT I'm feeling GREAT....getting all my fluids in ...aking all my vit...and doing some exercises. I plan to go see them the first week of Jan if I'm able to get in then. BUT SOMETIMES WHAT WE DON'T EXPECT HAPPENS....AND ALL WE CAN DO IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO. HAVE A SAFE WEEKEND EVERYONE...

My first 3 follow-up where covered, I did not have to pay anything. You probably should call your bariactric clinic to see if your first few follow-ups are covered (if I am not mistaken they are included in the surgical fees for the surgeon). Also, just because, you are taking your vits, Protein, water etc does not mean all is well. On my first labs(which was 3 months post-op  I was selenium & D3, PTH low. I hope tha tyou work this out asap. Good luck. -Maryama
