What are you eating today/Photo friday
One of these days I will use the magnifying glass and figure out how to post a picture ;)
I had another horrible breakfast experience this morning. So I am DONE with breakfast during the work week. Its my own fault...I have so much to do getting 4 kids up and ready in the morning that I eat to quick and don't chew enough. I will have my protein drink in the morning instead of the afternoon and solve that problem.
B: 1/2 small piece turkey sausage frittata with 1/2 laughing cow cheese wedge (this is how much I got in before getting sick)
L: Taco casserole (Bariatric Foodie recipe)
S: Premier protein chocolate drink
D: Turkey meatball with 1/4 cup ricotta bake (eggface)
Totals: Cals: 515 Protein: 65 Carbs: 18 Fat: 21
Vitamins and water on their way. Maybe a walk tonight if I have time between work, getting the boys, grocery shopping and making dinner! HAHA I have walked every other day this week though

I tutor during the school year, and yesterday was the last day for the year. I posted this pic on FB... and I was posting it more about "Yay! Summer's coming" but got so many responses about how I look because I don't usually post any full length shots... Going to a free self defense class tonight sponsored by one of the support groups I am in. I need to just vent a little, One of my very best long term friends went for a consult with my surgeon yesterday. Her insurance doesn't cover so they cancelled the appointment but never called her. She had already decided she is willing to self-pay. So first someone from insurance sat down with her and her husband and explained how that would work, and then 20 minutes later someone else came out and said they don't do self-pay and she can't see the Doctor. It was a mess, she is hugely disappointed, and I am upset for her, and mad at the office for handling it so poorly. OK vent over...

That's so weird! I wonder why the doctor wouldn't take a self pay patient? I feel like in the end they would end up getting paid MORE than from a big insurance company. But the point is someone really dropped the ball in how they treated your friend, that sucks!

That's a shame about your friend, the same thing happened to my sister actually. She and I went through the 6 months of classes and then her employer decided to upgrade her insurance plan from one Aetna to the best Aetna offers. However, in PA, bariatric surgery is an automatic exclusion unless you are in a group with over 50 members. She's been back and forth with the Insurance coordinator, her insurance Broker, and Aetna. She's been denied twice so far, even though she meets all of the criteria and the doctor has submitted narratives on why it's medically necessary. She's now working with an advocate. Anyway, the point of my post was that the dr's office told her she couldn't have the surgery without insurance/pay her own way because if there were any complications now or down the road, her insurance would deny coverage for that as well. Hope that helps a little...I'm sad & frustrated about my sister. We started this process together, and now I'm 6 weeks post op alone.
