Hello,

I got my approval from Aetna, My surgery is scheduled from 1/10, and then I get a call. My cortisol levels are low. I have to go see and Endo which is fine, but everywhere is telling me they are booking for March. I started this journey last March. I am feeling discouraged and don't think I am going to be able to get the band. They said something about Addison Disease?

Talk to the doctors about your situation. We cannot help with complex medical questions, it just would not be fair to you for us to guess or speculate.

I understand but this is a place to get encouragement and to share

We are here to encourage and support, but what you're asking takes medical knowledge and that we don't have.

Chez & I are encouraging you to rely on your Dr and not who knows who here.

Really sorry this is not what you were hoping for, but its the best we got.

I wish you all the best with this problem and please keep us informed what Endo says! Maybe it can help someone else!

I'm sure they can get you in earlier. When I went for my endoscopy and appt with an endo dr in August they were booking into October/November and told me they were "very busy".

I told my dr about this and he called for me and I got in two weeks later. I had to be very flexible about date/time but they made it happen! Good luck

Keep the faith! Have your doctors office call and get you an appointment, they can get you in. Even though I don't have any medical advice, I can offer encouragement! Many people have to jump through hoops to get to operation day. It's another hurdle, so jump it! Maybe someone here has experienced this issue, if so, I hope they chime in with their experience
