In December I had started the process for my gastric bypass by fulfilling the requirements of my insurance company. I had to complete a 6 month supervised diet with my primary care physician that included monthly weigh-ins. So I thought I was finished with the whole 6 month diet thing, when I received a call from the girl who handles the insurance stuff at my Surgeons office. She told me that she heard back from the insurance and apparentely I missed the month of February!!!!
I was completely shocked and immediately went to go check my calendar. I couldn't find anywhere that said I actually went-but I JUST KNEW that I had gone religiously every month....So I thought. I looked back at February and realized that I indeed did miss my appointment for that month!!!!! My 4 month old had a major surgery around the time that I was supposed to weigh-in and I guess my mind was pre-occupied with all of that stuff. So I called My Doctor and asked if he could do anything to help me out and they just plainly stated that they couldn't "just generate an appointment that wasn't there." I was so bummed! I called my insurance rep and the guy was really nice and went over my options. Since there was a break in the diet, only the last four months count, so I can just continue for 2 more weigh-ins and I will have fulfilled the insurance requirements. It seemed like a long time but it was only really another 6 weeks----piece of cake! I waited this long, I can wait a little longer!
