You might want to seriously consider switching surgeons. Every day you don't get a return call is one day an attentive surgeon's office could have you closer to your surgery.

Can you speak to anyone besides the patient coordinator? Tell them. I know it's kind of far away but you may need to just go in and talk to them

Any new news?

Well I talk to my surgeon nurse she said that she was going to get to the bottom of everything and she will call me back tomorrow cause my advocate has my file messed up she even had down dates that she talked to me that she didn't and clearly one of the dates was on a Sunday. I write down every time I call and every time I talk to her witch I rarely talk to her. My insurance company gave me a ref # to give to them and told me to tell them someone from the office need to call so I did so hopefully I get some answers this week I will keep you guys posted

I'm glad you got some info. I still don't understand why no one ever answers the phone. You should be able to talk to someone I don't care what time it is. If your calling 3 or 4 times a day you should eventually get an answer. I don't know if I would want this doctor to do my surgery. What if your not feeling well or have questions. I would really think about this. I know you want to have your surgery but what about your after care. I'm mad and its not even my doctor. I wish you the best.

I expressed that I was having second thoughts about the surgery cause I'm scared the same thing will happen with my after and the nurse assured me that I will not be dealing with my advocate for after care she said that where she comes in at and there's always someone on call for emergencies.she say my advocate is there to get me to the point up to surgery. She say she's going to get to the bottom of everything cause what's the point of having an advocate if mine is not communicating with me. So I'll keep you posted or the out come

I agree u need to think of ur after care, this office sound very irresponsible. Maybe you should speak with the director or office Manager to see can you get some answers. Did u research this surgeons background.

Maybe you should just get another surgeon. I'm feeling some kind of way about the surgeon. He is not worth ur health.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
