When you use that BMI of Slc



Recommended Posts

I I have been approved for my surgery for over 3 to 4 weeks now and I have been waiting on the Doctors office to call me with a date for the hospital. I feel very frustrated with the BMI center I leave messages and emails and seem to be ignored. Any one else have this problem with Dr Cottom and Dr Richards office

Can you change doctors? The bells and whistles go off for me when doctor's offices cannot or do not respond promptly - it speaks of inadequate staff and possibly a mill-like attitude to their patients.

Yes, that seems excessive to just be given a surgery date. Typically, the surgeons office tries to get you on the schedule right away even if it s a few months out. At least you would have some idea. That sucks!

My bariatric team was spot on to reply quickly to my questions and emails.....same day. I agree with SherB, An effective team will not leave you dangling in mental anquish and worry. Be proactive.

I turned in my paperwork for BMI of Utah and they consulted with my insurance and called me to set up an apt the very next day. the Apt is 4 weeks away because they are really busy during the summer. I have had friends go through them and not have an issue with scheduling their surgery date. Sorry that you are waiting.

I wish it was that easy I am left messages with the scheduling coordinator several times and the Dr rescheduled my date once already and now I feel like I am just chasing someone to just talk to me.. I was told to start the two week post op diet just in case they get me a date for the LDS hospital but I have a feeling I Am going to have to do it all again because of no date set.

I am sorry that you are having all these problems. I hope that you hear back soon. I am still early in the process and I am sure things can change. Best wishes to you.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
