Same craziness here. I considered going to a different surgeon but it would have taken much longer. I definitely will not be recommending them. What I don't understand is why they would not take better care of their clients?! They are getting enough $ out of us!

Just got my sleeve date of 2/13. Experiencing some anxiety but its all good....I think thats pretty standard.

Hi guys, I finally got my 2/13 date and I am doing quite a bit of self talk! Im reviewing some nsvs that will come shortly after the surgery, reminding myself of why Im doing this and telling myself I will be back on solids in several weeks. I CAN AND WILL DO THIS! Losers bench all the way!!!

Im still hanging in there Shayv. I was told to call back this evening after 6 but when i called I was told to call back Monday :-( it's all good. I just need to be patient. Thanks for the encouragement girlie!Thanks Sheree! we will all be a part of the losers bench very soon!I called ins today and was told my file was being reviewed at that moment and to.call back after 6! Fingers crossed!Congrats sweetie2013!So I called ins. today and I was told they are actively reviewing my file and to call back after 6! Waiting on the verdict! *holding my breath*Sheree I have to agree with 2013newme regarding the letter from your pcp. They also agreed but it took them a month to buckle down and do it! And thats with me calling them regularly and dropping in!!!! I've been with them for almost 10 years and I love them but it was excruciating!Actually Sheree, my apologies...the location you are referencing is separate from emory/ Atlanta Medical downtown. My.bad!Hi Sheree, I have not yet been sleeved however I am using Dr. Titus Duncan. I chose him as he is reportedly one of the best bariatric surgeons in Atlanta coupled with the fact I have relatives and friends whom have utilized his services. NOW, LET ME SAY THIS! I have been fairly disappointed with his office staff. Plenty they can improve on! Hope this helps.Bmarion I do understand. You would think they were working for free the way they are handling things.Hey guys, it's just a place for everyone to post their thoughts and feelings the day of surgery and while they are hospitalized and the rest of us provide encouragement etc to them!
