So irritated! Surgeons office lied?!



Recommended Posts

I read on here that somebody had surgery by my surgeon just recently. . No biggie right? Wrong. I have been waiting for about 2.5 months for a surgery date after my approval. The office told me that he had to wait to coordinate with the new hospital. it was going on for too long so I looked into a different office.. I find out tonight this lady got approved about a month after me and just got surgery yet I'm being told he's not doing them yet...? So mad! Guess it's a sign, huh? I'm going to call Monday and ask them what's going on. This is ridiculous!

Are you doing the surgery with insurance or are you doing self-pay (answer not required)? If the other person is doing self-pay and you are doing insurance, more than likely the self-pay person will be put on the schedule before you as there are no hoops for them to jump through. They won't have to go through the insurance's requirements; for example the 6 month diet period, or having to lose so many pounds... This might be your answer.

No.. I was already done with everything and was approved early Jan. The dr said they were doing zero surgeries and had people waiting since Nov. I actually went back and read other posts by this lady and found she did the same thing as me...changed surgeons. She ended up not going to the surgeon after all probably for the same reason I just changed too.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
