SOMEBODY SHOOT ME !!!

Well, things did not go as planned for me. Let's just say I have a pretty long wait ahead of me. I don't care, as long as it takes, is as long as I'll wait. I must have sat in that office and cried for over 30 minutes. I'm just so down right now. I even thought of jumping in front of a truck on my way home...........BUT.......Thank the Almighty God, I'm over it for right now......I just have to be patient is all.........Thanks for listening guys....

Blanca, this journey is very seldom a 1-2-3 process. It takes a while, has a lot of unanticipated turns, and the biggest thing is that you have to be patient as well as you are resilient. There are many steps to this thing and if your are trying to move to quickly through them, it seems like any little set back is like a major catastrophe. I am sure if you are a qualified candidate for this surgery, it will happen for you. Like you have been advised by many of us, calm yourself, breathe, believe in a higher power, do your homework, talk to peopke about PROGRESSIVE things to do during your wait, and make the necessary steps to get to the finish line. I sense your frustration and I feel for you. But if you are starting out at this level of anxiety, you are in for a hell of a long and stressful haul so I hope you get this under control early to make this journey for you better. All the best to you. Please try and be easy.

Blanquie, I'm sorry you are feeling so down. Did Mt. Sinai say you had a long wait ahead of you, and if so, why? I'm still trying to decide on a surgeon. Hope you feel better, Miss Emm

Blanca, Hun I am sorry that you are upset.... So now you are waiting for a date from your surgeon? What is going on in your progress? Hang in there hun and do not give up!!! My plan did not go as I wanted either, I was told that I needed to do a 6 month weight loss program because my Ins Comp required it before approval.....well I was pretty bumed about that but as it turned out it was the best thing that could have happened... What I am trying to say that things happen as they are meant to, even though we do not feel that way at the time..... We are here for you hun and please vent, scream, laugh or vent when ever you need too....~hugs you~ Take care Debra P

Hang in there Blanca. I to keep running into hurdle after hurdle. Just remember in the end it will all be worth it.

Believe me I know your frustration. After 9 months of jumping thru hoops and getting clearance from all the specialists, my surgeon switched hospitals and no longer accepted my insurance. I was devastated. I thought all of that work for nothing. I sat for two days having a pity party and crying. I switched insurance companies. He didn't accept that either. But two months later I found a wonderful surgeon who was even closer to me. I had my surgery and all was wonderful. So where one door closes another one opens. Good luck!
