LOOKING FOR A NEW SURGEON IN THE NORTHERN NJ AREA
So i called UHC and the rep told me iin order for me to be considered for this procedure. I have to have excerebatted stats?!! ok.. so, since last year i talked to my PCP and she was NOT on board with this. So, i changed my PCP and i found out i had gained weight (more) and have high blood pressure. NOt a little bit.. alot ! It was taken every few 10-15 mins. i was told to be calm ectra. range 179/60 to 190/85 i belive? It was like a yo-yo and i had to keep a log on it throughout my day. So i would stop ant walmart or pathmardk and get it done. At the end i of the next vist with doc i was given a script for High blood Pressure med. I hat it! He was afraid i was going ot get either a heart attack of some sort or brain attack... Now after a year my knees hurt , and i dont' like feeling this way! Thanks for letting me vent!
So, I am not wanting this for looks i want this for my health and to be there for my family. Any advice suggestions appreciated. I fanyone ahs won appeal let me know. Thanks
Hi hope everyone is doing well. Ive' been thinking lately of maybe-maybe going to another doctor.. I at this point don't have the funds to go off and fly somewhere to get this done! Nor do i have any credit.
I know one thing for sure .. that i am sooo ready for this!! I don't know what else to do... really bummed out on this.. uugh! frustrating when you know your ready but that there is something holding this back! It really sucks!
The 22nd will be here before you know it!
