I'm trying to get this G.I. test done to see if my surgeon will change her mind about the sleeve due to me having reflux (which I don't even feel).
I feel that her scheduler has gotten offended because I requested another surgeon ( the surgeon I now want is the one I've always wanted but I thought I had no choice when I went to the seminar).
Anyway, I'm trying to get a second opinion with a doctor another surgeon had talked to, but I've yet to hear back from them.....yeah....yeah call me impatient but how long does it take it look at a computer screen, see what the doctor has available and let me know the next opening?
I asked My current scheduler did they pick a G.I. yet because I don't want to wait until everything filed then have to take this test.
So I called my insurance and found out that I can go to any doctor so I decided to call my old G.I. doc who did my colonoscopy. I learned that he doesn't have an opening until November....Uuuuugggghhh!!!!!!.
I was expecting for the surgery to be done by then.
The way it looks, I may not have surgery until 2014.
Since I feel the scheduler took offence when I aided to switch surgeons, I've decided to sign up for the weight loss seminar that he speaks at and plan to explain to him myself situation after the seminar. I feel since they are both from Bon Secours Hospital systems here in Hampton Roads that all my records are in the system anyway.
The curve balls and alternate things I have to do is driving me nuts.....like the surgery its self isn't enough to worry about.
Thanks for letting me share.
