Office Had Me Scheduled For Roux-En-Y Surgery!!!!!

So, I went yesterday for my pre-admission testing appointment. It's where you go through everything and make sure they have everything and you have everything answered.

There is a long story, but my NP is out on materity leave (due back next week) the other NP from the other office took her job of a lifetime, so need less to say, I've been waiting for this appointment and had to go to a completely different office.

I get to the office yesterday (I'm 12 days out today from my surgery) and they had me down for the wrong surgery!!! And the worst of it is that the doctor only does gastric bypasses on one day and bands on another. So basically, my "band" surgery is scheduled for a bypass day. So now the NP and the office manager need to try to fix it while I'm there because I then explain to them that I have two people taking the day off (my husband and mom) and have child care for my kids already set up for that particular day.

They called my surgeon and he said mo problem! So now, I'm going to follow with MY NP when she gets back in next week to make sure someone followed up with the hospital and it was changed there because what if I get there and the actual hardware, the Realize Band, isn't even there. Then the whole thing will be a bust!!

Maybe I should go ahead and call my office and have them check. I'm afraid my NP might be overwhelmed when she comes back in.

So, that's my story.

My good news, I'm down 19 lbs in the last 2 months and 3 numbers on the BMI scale :)
