Quick update for my OH family

Apr 24, 2009

All my nutritionist class visits went well and I learned a lot of information. She was a great nut and I didn’t have any problems with her at all and she was also really familiar with the DS. On the other hand the one on one with the other nut in that department was horrible. She had no input what so every about the DS and nutrition requirements just the bare minimal.

Then disaster struck and it was brought to my attention that my surgeon was not doing the DS in one stage but I turned out he was now doing it in two stages. Let me tell you I FREAKED out and was a mess for about a week. I called the program mangers and other office staff to get an answer to who what when and why. I finally got a hold of the program manager who stated that new patient receiving a consult will have the DS in two stages and patient who have already been scheduled or have had a consult were fine unless there was and issue during surgery etc. Let me tell you this was a big relief for me. But when it was heard directly from Dr. Schweitzer at JH not doing the DS in one stage no mater what will let’s just say the river of tears began to fall. I’m so f@&king pissed that he did this and I have come so far. So now I’m on the hunt for a new surgeon and let me tell you its really hard.

 As of April 4th I have completed my three month disciplinary program that Aetna requires and boy has it been a very long journey for me.  Right now I just hope that the incompetent staff gets everything over to the insurance company for approval today based on what I was told. The crazy thing is that I sent everything over last Monday and has to constantly hound everyone in the office to confirm everything was good to go. Well after call after call it should be done today but will not hold my breath. I just can’t believe how far I have came and have struggled to get this far. So keep your fingers crossed because I have mine plus my toes. I just can’t wait to be on the losers bench so make so room because I’m going to sliding right in.
