Waiting on an ice cream maker
So already I can hear people asking "But you just had WLS and you are going to make ice cream?" Yup I'm going to make ice cream. With protein powder. I have found an amazing woman that had surgery over 4 years ago and she has figured out how to make wonderful things that meet our post op requirements.

How long to wait
I am getting to the end of the "waiting patiently" stage and fast approaching the "call non stop to bug the shit out of them" stage. I know they will call me when they have an answer from my insurance company I just had it in my head that I would have heard by now. I will now go sit on my hands to prevent me from calling. -

The office girl called me from the Bariatric office to see if I had any questions from my appointment on Friday. I have to say I was a little surprised and pleased. -

Damn insurance
I got a call from the surgeon's office yesterday. They called my insurance company and was told I had no coverage for WLS. Of course I get on the phone with them and it is covered. I'm now waiting for the surgeon's office to call again and get a rep with a brain to see the correct coverage. Time to call them back for an update. -

I first started thinking of having this done about 3 years ago and got within one appointment of have a surgery date when my husband's insurance changed and excluded the coverage. I started again about a year and half ago when on a new ( Read more... ) -
Don't try to work while taking muscle relaxers
Oh am I loopy today. I have been having something going on with my lower back for about 2 weeks now. Finally went to the doctor on Friday and got something for pain, antiboidics, and a muscle relaxer. They are leaning away from an infection but not ruling it out and they made me go get xrays of my back done. Well I took a (as in one) muscle ( Read more... )
