omg i almost had a heart attack!

[Lovelycurves 94]

So my old surgeon (he left the practice and has been trying to have me come back to him for him to do my surgery) he'll do whatever he can to get me back as his paitient. I know things happen for a reason but this morning I got an email from him stateing my new bariatric surgeon (who I reconsulted with back in january, whom I fell in love with as a surgeon because he's super informative and just the kind of doc I want to do my surgery) is no longer performing bariatric surgery! OMG talk about a heart attack! I seriously called my mom and asked if they called her and informed her of this or any letters came in the mail. Well long story short he's just trying to sabatoge my surgeon and have me go to him (sad thing is his office isn't open yet!) He said march or april now its april or may! Well I called my surgeon and he's not seeing new paitients as of now (probably cause my old surgeon who left has all his paitients to my new surgeon!) Anyways they asked my name and told me I'm ok because I'm already established with him. That totally made me feel better! But omg how can a dr do that to a paitient and tell them basically they are shit out of luck for having surgery unless then come to him! Thank the lord I still have this new surgeon because the other surgeon definitely ruined his chance of being my surgeon ever! I'm glad I'm established with my new surgeon because I only have a psych eval and consult with NUT and I'm able to submit to insurance! I'm wanting my surgery to be NO LATER than April 22 which is mine and my hubbys aniversary. But can you believe that this dr did this to me! Oh man! Thank you lord I know things happen for a reason and my reason is my surgeon is mine because that's how god wants it! Ok I'm done rambling on!

The medical board actually needs to hear this story...that is just wrong.

Seriously. I'm like why would you say the surgeon and company is not practicing anymore when they are they just aren't accepting new paitients. I've never in my life seen a dr do this to another one! I'm happy that I'm ok and they aren't stopping I seriously cried though cause that would break my heart if this happened. I'm definitely going to tell someone about him doing this to me. Cause that was just uncalled for!

As long as you get your surgery done & don't have to start from scratch its ok. It's not fair but as long as your not stuck.

Of course as long as I have my surgery, but the problem is the fact that if this surgeon is trying to sabotage my surgeon there's a problen. I already told him I was sticking with my new surgeon then he trys to say that the practice is completely closeing and not practicing bariatric surgery anymore. He had and has no right to say this to anyone just so he can get paitients. I'm not going to go to him there are more surgeons in arizona that will take my insurance and I will go to the (if it was the case) before id go to him. I'm sticking with the surgeon I choose because he is a lot more experienced and I prefer him because he actualy talked with me about everything and the other one didn't say anything or answer any questions I had. so if I would have to switch it wouldn't be to him but thank the lord I'm ok and my surgeon will still be MY surgeon. I'm just angry because this other surgeon shouldn't have done that because I'm sure I'm not the only paitient he did this to and that's just wrong to do.... my opinion yeah stuff may not be fair but he had no right to do that. That's like someone saying a family member died but you find out they aren't dead just out of town or something... NOT COOL!

Exactly!!! What if you hadn't called your new surgeon and checked? Eventually someone is going to fall for this. It is unethical and just plain wrong!!!! So glad you're all straightened out though!!!

Seriously it is unethical! And you're right id I hadn't called then someone would look stupid especially if my surgeon calls and come to find out this jerkoff decided to lie on them. The girl definitely was like upset that this other doc said this about him. So glad I had checked. I mean yeah my new surgeon isn't taking new paitients but I'm all good. But yes thanks im glad its straighted out too. I'm definitely reporting the doc that said this so he doesn't do this to anyone else!
