My last pre-op appointment was last Thursday, my psych eval. At the end of the meeting, the psychiatrist told me his dictation would be done the same day or next, and will be available to view on Monday. So I called on Tuesday, to see if it had been done. I got a call back this morning from my surgeons office, to tell me they don't have it yet, but usually it takes a few weeks to get back. I work in healthcare, I understand the time it takes some physicians to dictate, and the time to get to another doctor. I am probably being impatient, but I want to schedule a date!! I did all I was supposed to do, now I want to get this going. I don't think I'd be frustrated if I wasn't told it would be done. My big issue is, soon holiday season will be upon us, and getting time off is going to be harder and harder. I don't want this to be another couple of months waiting!!

I know your frustrations. I've been placed on a 6 months Dr. evaluation. I still have 1 more appt. to go to in Nov. then I meet with the surgeon to review my files and send them off to the insurance company for approval. SO I may not get sleeved till Jan. I was hoping for Dec. But, I just think the more time they take, the more prepared my brain thinks it has LOL. Good luck.

I hear ya! I jumped through every last hoop by May of last year and was kept waiting and waiting and waiting by doctor's offices not sending paperwork after repeated calls and requests for them. I say the squeaky wheel gets the grease! Get on a first-name basis with these people! After a few months of delay due to unrelated medical junk, I am hoping to FINALLY get my surgery in Dec. Good luck to you!

Called the psych office twice, once today and once yesterday. No one got back to me. I just want this thing to get moving, I'm so excited to start losing weight!
