Venting

Ok, just called my surgeons office.  I had my sleep study faxed over to them and have appts for PT and psych evals for this week and next monday.  Hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait!!!  They won't even begin to sumitt to TriCare for approval till the psych eval comes back to them and that will take at least a week.  Hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait.  I am soooooo close and yet soooooo far away from my goal!  AARGHHHHHH!!!!! 

Ok, I am done, but not feeling any better.

Hang in there. You have a great doctor and yes his office can be aggrevating, but just take it easy. Everything will be ok.

Thank you Tommy, I know it will be ...... LOL

Venting is OK.  It helps.  We have all been through the process and know the position you are in.  Medical facility employees don't tend to hurry as fast as we want or with the sense of urgency we feel they need to use.  After all its only a job and they get paid regardless of the speed they work.

We have to learn to be patient.  One thing you will have to accept after the surgery is that the weight will not fall off over night and there will be many many days where there no weight loss.  The first usually happens about three weeks out where the body starts resisting the weight loss and has to do a catch up.  From then on it is a journey from one plateau to the next.

You are so right Glenn, I guess you remember that feeling.  I have to remember to be at peace with what is at hand and it will come in time. Thank you.

Moondancer I have worked in the medical field for 25  years first in the hospital and then in a doctor office. Their is procedures that you have to go thru before you can send in your paperwork.  Some of the insurance companies are faster than other. As a nurse just because we got paid for doing our job does not mean that we are slow. We have to put up with a lot of crap and abuse from some people who thinks that when they speak we should jump. Now i have had my vent.

Bless your heart, I did not mean to make it sound like I was blaming the office staff.  But just how hard it is to have to wait when I am so bloodly close!  I know Tricare has to make the office gals jump, make me jump and probably someone else jump....LOL. 

The ladies in the office I go to are all very sweet and helpful, but but but I have to hurry up and wait!! 

It was not your post that made my blood boil. It was the post  made about medical people being so slow.  Until you have worked in the medical profession people have no idea what goes on behind the doors.  You have a pm on the way.

Hang in there.. it will be so worth it very soon!!

I am, I feel like that kitty cat in the poster hanging by its claws in the tree....LOL
