Date, Major Prob,CPAP

Have my surgery date 8/18 when I went for results visit. Now on liver reduction into 2ND week w/pretty diarrhea beginning today. But bigger issue is my surgeon's staff was supposed to get my CPAP machine to me in May& despite my pleas by phone&via the office portal, NOTHING. I won't be allowed my surgery w/o CPAP for some time.

At my results spot. my surgeon froze like a statue,when I told him, no I had not been using the machine. No one from his staff even tried. He left the room, talked to staff & two told me I would be called the next day. Nothing. Monday. Nothing. All last week I waited. Friday...she called & said someone from the company would call me in 10 minutes. Nothing. I waited an hour, called & told she was at lunch. Long story short....she never came back from lunch.

So here I am...back waiting...4 months for a CPAP machine& oh yeah, I have severe sleep apnea. What the heck does it take to get a CPAP machine?

BTW...I live near Raleigh, NC. There are many suppliers. Tomorrow am I'm getting on the phone to as many as possible.

Any thoughts, ideas?

Need to know also are these high protein shakes supposed to cause diarrhea? Feel like I'm right back to colonoscopy prep.

Thanks
