Can I vent???

So, I'm trying to get my band revised to sleeve.  Badly prolapsed, can't eat.  HAS to come out. 

Originally ins co (UHC) said removal and replacement with another band was covered . Or just removing the old band. My choice.  Said doing a sleeve was barred under the "one per lifetime" clause.

When they couldn't show me that clause in our policy, it turned into "denied sleeve because didn't meet criteria"

So, BMI meets, had psych eval.  Was told having band would count for "diet".

Now, being told it doesn't count and ...get this...they are just NOW denying the sleeve request.  Almost a month after this whole thing started.  SO...I get to appeal the sleeve denial and if I win, get the sleeve NOW.  Otherwise I have to have another three months where I checked in with my dr every month and got weighed (have been dealing with this nonsense since March).  And the ins. folks at the dr office aren't exactly helpful.  I'm pretty much on my own here.

Looks like its going to be a two surgery deal. One to remove the band under "emergency" cir****tances...I can't eat anything.  Literally, nothing.  Even thicker protein shakes are getting hard to stay down.  A second surgery to revise to sleeve, either under my appeal or under completion of criteria.

Can I say now that this REALLY  REALLY IRKS me!!!  I'm tired.  I'm cranky.  I'm sick.  I have two seven year olds and a three year old that are getting ready to be home for summer and have TONS of end of year activities that requires two parents to schlep them everywhere,AND my husband has to leave the state for a week to teach new brokers,  AND we're going to Disney World in mid July, AND I'm trying to get started with my first teaching job in the fall. I'm So stressed.  I can't think. 

And to make everything worse, I'm getting all this thrown at me today and my hubby is out of town until late tonight for a business meeting.  I have to take care of the kiddos and then help put on Wed nite church skits for the kids, all without having a complete meltdown.  Right now, I'm not sure I'm going to pull it off.

Well, that is alot!  I am sooo sorry for everything you're going through.  I say just take things one at a time and take care of you first.  ......grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can an wisdom to know the difference.  I hope everything goes well.
