Frustrated gotta start 6 month diet history again

I started this journey last year and did 5 months of diet history with my PCP. At that time I did not have insurnace. I have since then been approved for Medicaid Tenncare. I went to my consulation and was informed that I have to start this 6 month thing all over. I am so frustarted because I haved waited a whole two years and now 6 more months. This sucks

Would that not be appeal-able....

I mean, history is history, right???

 Think of it as an investment in your future skinny self? I know it is frustrating to have all your ducks in a row to find out that you have MORE ducks and a NEW row! I'm (fingers crossed) 2 weeks away from surgery but it's been a LONG process!

I'm doing my six months as well and I about to hit my second month in April so just try to stay focused and these months will fly by. Good Luck!!

Sucks that you have to start over.

I had to do 6 months for my insurance too. I just quit thinking about it. That last checkup nearly got by me!

 I am currently in month 4 of my 6month pre-op phase. 5th visit is april 1.

I thought that 6 months would drag on forever BUT it has'nt. The days are going fast.

As far as almost forgetting an appt, that happened to me to! I cut 3 pieces of paper to remind myself and I have it noted in my yearly calender. I have POW note in 3 places. my bathroom by the med cabinet,fridge and closet door. So when I have visitors and they see the note, no one knows what it means except for me.(pre op weight)
I've only told three people about my potential operation and that's all.

You'll do fine. Keep your spirits up!

Weight Loss Surgery is for LIFE.  What is 6 months in the scheme of the REST of your life.  Don't stress about it. 

I did the 6 months diet, was approved, surgery scheduled and 7 days prior to surgery went in for pre op testing.  Came out with an abnormal EKG....long story short.  I had 2 blockages in my heart.  These were found by the pre op tests.  Had a stent put in to open up my artery.  Had to postpone surgery for 6 more months.....however, my cardiologist said....."Your decision to have bariatric surgery has already saved your life and you haven't even had the surgery".  Six months later I was reapproved for the surgery and on 11/1/10 had RNY.  The additional time I had to wait was more time to make sure that this was something that I was committed to.  Hopefully with surgery I can avoid the strokes and heart attacks that my parents died from.

Good luck in your journey.
