Just a little depressed
Feb 22, 2007
I guess I will go back on my antidepressant. I am very upset and bitter and frustrated. I just want to cry because I have to wait six more months for my surgery. I know, I shouldn't be because I am lucky compared to most people but I am just bummed. I have been wanting this surgery since around 2003. I guess I feel a little better Oprahs Oscar special is on......
This process sucks
Feb 20, 2007
I have spent most of my morning on the phone attempting to get a hold of someone from the va medical center to get me some information on who does bariatric surgery for the va for washington state. Turns out ( by calling myself) they do the surgery in portland. Yeah, now the only problem is getting my pcp to get off his bottom and refer me. Unless there are other options. I am working with a resident right now and it is really difficult to do anything with him, because he does not know a lot about the "va" system. Non the less, he is trying his hardest. So kudos to Dr.Mignone at the VA. I will let you know more if anyone returns my calls.
Trying to get GB
Feb 13, 2007
Well now I am just trying to try both avenues that I have. Trying to get the gb at the va and if that doesn't work then I will try hitting up Great West my insurance company.
