Rescheduling of my Gastric Bypass Surgery

I am still waiting on a call from Kaiser on when they think they can get me in. Good news I learned today, since this leave I am on now, and the leave I will go on when I go to get my surgery, are medically connected, they count as one medical condition/instance for County disability purposes. What this means is that even if I go back to work after healing from the surgeries I've had and then go out again in a couple months for the gastric bypass, the clock doesn't start over and I qualify for my disability. Without this, unless they squeezed me in by the end of this month (which they still might) I wouldn't have had the financial coverage or ability to do the surgery for at least a year. This is very good news.

    Brian,

    I know it does not seem like it now but you are truly blessed to have Jessica and all the people who care about you. We are all thinking of you and wishing you all the best.

    I am sorry that everything has not gone as planned. But let me tell you something I have learned in my 50 plus years and yes it has taken me a long time to get to this point. Some of the things in my life that I thought were the worst things in my life turned out to be the biggest blessings.

    I am glad you are home and doing well. Please let me know if you need anything. We are all here for you.

    We miss you.

    Debbie H

    Thanks Debbie! Trust me, I know how lucky I am to have the great family, friends and co-workers I have. Yes I am frustrated I have to go through so much more than I "should" but I agree that everything is for a reason. It was really upsetting at first and now I'm moving on to when it can be re-scheduled. I'm more bitter about the torture I received on Tuesday than anything else at this point!!

    Being the insurance person I am, I am very excited to hear they count as one... I promise I am not that boring but this is really good news (better news would be Sac Kaiser having better quality care but I will take STD).
