Hi everyone! My name is Dana, I'm 42 and am hoping to get a surgery date fairly soon.
I'm on month 5 of the 6 month waiting period for insurance. I have Medicaid so I'm hoping they will okay me. Very nervous about that.
I meet with a nutritionist and surgeon tomorrow for a check up. Then in October I will have my psych consult and am nervous about that as well lol.
Not too worried about the actual surgery right now though.
The place I'm going through is called Carle hospital. But they've not offered much support at all. So I've been left in my own to figure stuff out and it's been very hard. I've not lost but gained about 5 pounds. It's discouraging and makes me worry even more
The only good thing is my niece is going through this herself. Only at a different place as she's in Indiana. Her team has been fantastic and she shares all the info she gets with me lol.
So overall nervous but hopeful.
