I am torn between my emotions today. I found out on July 5, that I was approved for this surgery, I was so excited and couldnt wait to have it scheduled. I have been anxiously awaiting the phone call from the surgeons office, and when they did call they told me I would need to bring $250.00 for one appointment, (Ok, can probably squeeze that out).. then I need to bring $3900.00 for the next appointment...:omg: YIKES!!! I dont have that kind of money just sitting around.. though she did say that they do have a payment plan, but I have to call the other office and talk to someone else. I did call and leave a voicemail, but the greeting said that she is only in the office Mon. - Thurs . 8:30-4:00 .. so it may be Monday before I hear anything. So I am upset and worried that I have went through this whole ordeal of getting ready and now possibly not be able to go through with it.

So hopefully it'll all work out. I had no idea, they did not say a thing about these fees at that first appointment.

I will try to stay busy this weekend, and maybe that'll take my mind off of it.... doubt it. Or maybe someone else in that office will check the message and call me back.
