I see him tomorrow and I’ve been dreading it.<\/p>\n
First, I have found out that Sleep Med has not been paid by Blue Cross Blue Shield because the doctor has not provided proof of medical necessity. So that’s MY first issue on the books.<\/p>\n The good news, is that my scale shows about a 5 pound weight loss since I was there last. I’m QUITE sure that won’t be enough for him, but screw it. It’s my health, it’s my body, and I’m doing things MY way.<\/p>\n I lost weight fast AND it didn’t stay off. I am losing weight slow now, and I want this to be the last time I am at this weight. <\/p>\n He wants me to go for bariatric surgery, but if he can’t provide the medical necessity for CPAP equipment, how can I even imagine he’ll help through that process? And I don’t want to go there. I am watching someone go through the recovery right now, and I’m sorry, I think I feel better and I think I look better. At least I have my hair! Maybe that sounds vain, but to me, good hair is a sign of good health. When I’m not sleeping well, my hair is an absolute mess.<\/p>\n But the good news, is that I see my CDE the next morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I see him tomorrow and I’ve been dreading it.
