And even if she knows you had appt that day say you were so sick but couldnt possibly cancel and reschedule again because it is important for you, and you know this because you discussed with your doctor, use your immagination or say the receptionist was not impressed but you told her you will definately go even though you were that sick ....... or well just use your logical immagination.as i say thats what i do, my thoughts, but maybe u need to discuss with a friend or a few friends and see what they say.

Oh as bad as it is to say, I am a pretty good story maker. lol growring up we always got the 75th degree from my mom. So I got pretty good at approaching situations from all angles. Answer all the questions they'd ask before I talk to them. That way no one catches me off guard. lol Too bad I have morals or I'd make a great lawyer. JK

I feel better about it today. i'm just going to schedule my next appointment in the morning and tell work to deal with it. Most people won't take the morning appointments anyway. So, it should be easier to get. I have a bunch of appointments to get my wisdom teeth pulled. I know I won't miss those because 4 grand to have braces for 2 years is worth getting chewed out for leaving. I follow all the company procedures on how to request time off and what not. i do it and they don't approve than they can kiss my ass! lol :]

Hey Hollie, I feel you! I was an office manager/ accounting assistant/ administrative assistant, so I know what it's like when people don't respond to your emails or even your PHONE CALLS.

If I was in your shoes, (if this happens again) go to HR and say that you have an appointment. If they ask why, just say that she doesn't respond to your emails and that it was an important appointment.

If they say, basically, "Screw you", suck it up and reschedule. And when you send another email, put a flag on it (if you have Outlook).

That's all I can offer.

As for the age thing; I'm 19, but just because I'm young doesn't mean I have "anger issues." God, I hate when people throw that around, but what can you do, right?:crying:

Hope everything works out!

JRG

I don't act 18 though. i've been working in the mortgage business since I was 15. I forced myself to grow up young. So i don't take offense. I am aware of how to let go lol. but we should be friends because I don't know any young people who have the band

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
