I LOST 31 POUNDS ON MY OWN...NOW HERE'STHE KICKER
I FINALLY MADE IT !!!! my 10% goal for wls. Now I'm one step closer to submitting my paperwork to the insurance co . My Primary Dr said he wants to see me before he do the paperwork and he want be able to see me until April the 9th B.S!!
I'm scared as hell to eat, drink, swallow my own saliva in fear I might turn back into a pumpkin . What to do now!?!? Don't get me wrong I'm still going to workout and eat right but you know me my weight fluctuate .
You have to throw the bs right back at these folks just like irl. You'll see a few regulars have the same answer for certain questions without regard t the individual. This is why after years on this site BAF is the only place I still post (Dating forum excluded, cool people but I lost interest). We've had plenty of bs and long running argumnts but nothing like the bs on other forums where I used to post.
Many of us had that freak out but remember today is 3/30. 4/9 is only 10 days away. I was afraid if I lost too much weight my approval would be revoked. The kicker is I was also afraid that my surgery would be canceled because I only lost 5 lbs pre op. There was just no winning.
Keep doing what you are doing. If you are on a non referral plan, your surgeon may see you sooner and add the pcp's letter to the file. If you have specialists for co morbidities, their recommendation trumps pcp and your paperwork can go off with out his.
This is what I always do with specialists as I have found many pcp's just get in the way. Specialist first, then work backwards. The same pcp that gives you grief will sign off on whatever a specialist colleague recommends.
(That's not just a wls tip. It holds for everything. I know personally and I have the medical bills to prove it. I had no pcp for my wls and I still don't. )
Keep posting your frustrations. This is the place to *****&moan. Just remember that this WILL happen for you. Your space on the bench is saved new looser.
