It's long, but I need you!!!!!!
Hey all you floridians! I had never seen this message board! I wanted some more local support! I am currently scheduled(tentatively) for Tuesday, April 27,2004, in Cedars Medical Center in Miami, Florida with Dr. Nestor de la Cruz-Muñoz. If anyone has any info on the hospital or surgeon, or has my same date I would just LOOOOOVE to hear from you!! For those of you who don't know about me,, I am 22 year old emale going through a bunch right about now! I was recently married in November, I am having a house built and not having a very good time with that, At htis point I hate my job, I am renting an apartmetn waiting for my house to be built and they SUCK!!! You just have no idea! Anyway, it's ALOT of stress! I started this process Friday, MArch 19, 2004. I got everything the insurance required done this Tuesday, April 6,2004. I did the sleep study, the uppser GI, the psych eval, nutritionist, letter from the doctor, personal letter, EVERYTHING! Well, I sent all the surgeons office had everything by Wednesday afternoon! On Thursday I called to verify that they had everything, but no one could answer because the lady that handles that was not in the offce on Thursday. I was told she would fax all info to the insurance that day because she takes it with her. I was thrilled! Much to my dismay, on Friday, I called the insurance and they had NOTHING!!! I WAS UPSET!!!! I have rushed SOOOOOOOOOO much to get everything done to now get lied to! I felt terribly! Anyway, I called the office to inquire about why it was not send or try to find out WHEN they would send it, but since it was Good Friday the office was closed! NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM FRUSTRATED!!!! As I write I am at work and upset! I have jumped through endless hoops to get everything done! Surgery is 17 days away adn had to go through a lot to get everything ready for that date. I am praying all goes well, but these people are delaying the process for nothing! I am upset! Any words of encouragement??? PLEASE HELP!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT!!!!
Well, that is atleast good news...it kinda just gives me the creeps cause my great grandmother died in that same hospital!!! I dunno, it's just mental, onw\e hting has nothing to do with the other! I am glad to know it is a good hospital! Thanks for the insight and I am ever so glad to know I con count on someone to hear me out! Thanks and sorry if it was any bother at all!! God Bless!!! 
Johanna, if it makes you feel any better, I've been on this long road for almost a year now. May will be one year and my surgery date is in June. Our program consists of a 16 week nutrition program before you can even be considered. I guess all things are relative. I totally understand your frustration, as I've seen other people on here hit brick walls. I know this may not work for some people, but I've started to learn to meditate in order to wash away all the bad thoughts and keep me calm and to hold on to a little bit of sanity. I know it sounds corny, but it works for me. You will get through this.... you know you will... and everything will turn out great... with the surgery, the house, maybe a new job down the line.... keep your chin up and don't sweat the small stuff. 
We are all here for you 
and you may vent anytime you need to and we will help you out as much as we can. You have tons of friends on here, you just didn't know it. But now you do, so feel free to ask away or just keep in touch. I know you will do fine and everything will work out for you.... I have a feeling this week will bring good news for you.
Take care,
Kathy in Port Orange~

Take care,
Kathy in Port Orange~ I have heard of many people on this endless quest to get approved and to have this surgery and it just kinda boggles me to see how many hoops you need to go through to even TRY to get healthier! It's incredible!! Anyway, I am really hoping I get htis approved on time because it is impossible to get time off from workand my hubby and I both work there so it is double the trouble to have him by my side that day! I have everything squared away for the set date of April 27,2004, so I just need the surgeon's office to get on the ball! I guess I am just nervous and want everything to go well! I pray the Lord will hear you and I WILL bet good news this week! I have the chest x-ray, EKG, and pre-op labs all scheduled for this Thursday, I hope all goes well and all of this has not been in vane! Thank you very much for your support and fdor hearing me out! I think that is just what I need right now! THANKS! God bless!!
