I agree go to ER Or doctor. Your surgeon made himself sound suspecious by what he said. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App

Ok finally sent an email to both the insurance lady and the manager. Told them I needed a date by the 29th of april. And that I have told them repeatedly how much of a time crunch I'm under. My insurance coordinator emailed back saying it's out of her hands..... then about an hour later the manager emailed me back and apologized and said she will absolutely call me by the end of the week. I sure hope she does. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all for your replies. I have tried to call the office manager twice today and each time they put me through to her it rings once and then her voicemail picks up. I called again and asked the receptionist to please verbally tell her I am needing to speak with management asap. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App

My surgeons office is becoming a nightmare! I got my surgery approval finally begining of april. I'm still waiting for office to schedule my surgery. They keep calling me and asking for things that I've already given them. They made me get another galbladder sono. Now they are asking when and where I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I gave them that at the very begining (one of my comorbidities). Found out my insurance coordinator never asked for the reports. I swear this woman has been done with me since the first denial I got from my insurance. Once I got denied the secind time it's been hell. Even now that I'm approved it's like she's refusing to move my file forward to get scheduled. I feel like I need to just throw in the towel and go to another surgeon. I was so set on Dr. Kim and getting the inverted gastric sleeve from him but I feel like I'm being punked or I'm on the show boiling point where things are done just to see how far they can push somone before they break. I'm on such a time crunch at work! They keep telling me they need me to put in my time immediately because our office is about to split and after may I won't have any time until December. I hope one day I will be able to come on here with a happy story. Sorry for another rant. just feeling defeated. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App

Melissa started handling it- and after numerous issues- I asked for Summar to handle everything. I still wound up switching doctors because I backed out of my surgery in 2011. I had my sleeve done in Nov 12 by dr. hodges.I am having the same problems! ! I have Melissa and it's been a nightmare!! I'm gonna ask for summar to handle things from now on. I'm feeling like I need to go somewhere else. I know this post was a while ago but I've been looking for this very thing. It's like Melissa is trying tog screw me! Sounds dramatic but she's has been horrible Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App

I have PCOS as well. I havnt gotten surgery yet but I'm also hoping this will help my PCOS reverse. I have very bad facial and neck and chest and back hair. It's a constant thing to keep it all waxed. I'm really hoping it reduces once I lose all this weight Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using the BariatricPal App
