Confused.......

Hey everyone! Hope everyone is doing well....

I had my psy eval a couple of weeks ago, thought everything went well.. He stated I was a prime candidate and that he didn't see no reason why I couldn't have this done by the end of the year....

Well.....................yesterday I called the surgeon to see how the progress was going and she said - you haven't been cleared on the psy evaluation... I was so surprised and confused. I told her what they said to me and she said for me to call them. I called them twice they finally called me back and wouldn't tell my anything over the phone just kept saying for me to come back and everyday I could come back they couldn't see me. I called the surgeon back and asked if I should just forget the surgery and she said NO!!!

First I am just newly divorced and have a lot of that stuff going on. But I am NOT crazy and that is what this is making me feel like. I don't know rather to just give up or if it is possible for me to have a new doctor do an evaluation...

Any advice is appreciated. Feeling pretty down now... If they said I was depressed, I definitely am NOW!

This is a pretty minor set back. If it were me I would never consider throwing in the towel over this. Yes, it's inconvenient that you can't get an answer right away, but no one in any way has yet to say you've been denied. Make an appointment as soon as humanly possible, and then hear what they have to say, and go from there.

If they keep putting you off, call back every single day to check for cancellations. Let them know this is holding you up, be a thorn in their side.

It took me an entire year to get through my requirements. And now after surgery, all that time feels like nothing. It's worth the waiting and aggravation.

Good luck!
