Still Waiting...what Should I Do At This Point?



Recommended Posts

My surgery was schedule for last thursday 10/11.. i called the doctor's office because on tuesday no one had called me to confirm surgery... Then, my doctor himself called me this past thursday (same day the surgery was schedule for) he told me surgery it is still schedule for this thursday that he they are just waiting for the insurance company to approve it.

I called the insurance company on friday and they said there was nothing from my doctor's office.

So... Today monday 10/15 i am still waiting to have my pre op done, surgery is supposed to be this Thursday and I haven't heard anything from the doctor ( I did call this morning and they said the Dr was going o call me back)

I am so emotional at this point, I don't know what to do anymore, where to go, ????????????????

Please any advised are welcome

Call your insurance company two more times. I never relied on the info from one person at my insurance company. I would call 3 times just to see what I would be told each time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
