What should I do?

[80sbabe 17]

I’ve completed all of my pre op appointments and test My patient advocate from my bariatric clinic emailed me last Tuesday and told me that she would be calling me by the end of the day to schedule my surgery but I haven’t heard anything should I call her and ask if something is wrong?

Sure, call her. I wouldn't ask what's wrong, I'd ask for an update.

Ok, thanks, I just didn’t want to annoy her but I’ve been anxious as to why she never called.

I would give them a call and ask for a status update on my upcoming procedure.

I would call! The waiting game is just too much for me lol

[TheAngryMeow 99]

Definitely call and bug them. I was in the same boat. I pestered EVERYONE. I called their aunts and uncles and distant cousins to get ahold of ANYONE who would give me an answer.

Good luck! 👍

Depending on your surgeon’s schedule, a delay in completing a pre-op requirement may have a huge impact on the scheduling for your surgery. If you’re also juggling a schedule for time off from work for post-op recovery, I would make sure to contact the office immediately if an expected call back does not go as scheduled. If they say to expect a call on Monday, and there is no call, I am on the phone first thing Tuesday morning.

So I called her back and left her a message she called back four days later with my surgery date!
