I Feel Let Down By My Lap Band Surgeon

The doctor that I saw that put in the referral for my psych cons. as well as my nutrition cons. has not put in the bariatric consult. I have called and left message after message to let her know that I have completed both the referrals that she sent me for. I get nothing back. I understand docs at the MTF are busy...but geez....its been 3 weeks now.

Im just so frustrated!

I would drive over there and ask to speak to whomever does the referrals. Trust me it works. I work in a doctors office and patients do this all the time.

Yes you need to call and make an appoinment and just go in and see her and get your answers write down everything you want to know and don't let her get away until you have all your answers this may be a good time to decide if this is really the doctor you want taking care of you in the long run I had a docotor not to unlike this one of yours and I switched doctors and I could not be happier I did not realize how bad he was till I went to this new doctor and I can only say it was devine guidiance at led me to him and I really feel so much more positive about my coming journey but stop calling and get to the office and don't leave till you have what you need.

I agree with Jersey Girl...Phone calls can be useless because a lot of the time they just ignore you. If you go in person they CAN NOT ignore you! I do this all the time. I usually get results that way

Absolutely ride over and get down to business. You will get better results that way. Good luck with that.

does the office have an advocate for you? my doctor's office has one person who handles all of my paperwork and if i have any questions, i call her. she sent my paperwork in and i got approved in 7 days---my surgery is on friday. yippee!

Go over there and bring muffins...shameless I know but its guaranteed to work!
