Waves of disappointment

HaHa I just looked back at my last blog post about how things were about to start happening to me now! That was in November. That was right before things stopped happening as far as progress in my bariatric services office. If I can offer one little morsel of advice above all others - DO NOT rely on anyone to verify your insurance, make appointments, follow up on labs - NOTHING! Give yourself a time limit - wait 3 days, then call yourself. I would be a month into recovery if I had done this because someone at the office dropped the ball. By the time I got approved on December 22, my surgeon did not have any openings before the end of the year.
New year, new insurance because my company changed carriers, so now I need 6 months of classes instead of the 3 I previously needed. I could have been so much further along on this journey - but I guess I need to be grateful at least that this insurance does cover the procedure.
Like I said, the most important thing I can tell anyone going through this process is to DRIVE it yourself, don't let anybody else be in control of your destiny.
