Nearly a month ago, my surgeon's office faxed over 2 forms to my PCM. I know she got them because she showed them to me when she had a question for me. Today was my scheduling appt and they had still not received the forms back from my PCM. To make matters worse, they had even called her this morning and spoken with her and she said she hadn't gotten the forms, so they re-faxed them to her and she assured them that they would have the forms by my appt time this afternoon. She didn't. So they couldn't schedule my surgery (but they assure me I'll still have surgery in Oct). I go back Friday to try and schedule again and I'll be calling my PCM in the morning to make SURE she faxes in those forms.

Believe me I know the feeling. My PCM is a total Bitch! Long story short at the end of my appointment I wanted to throat punch her! Stay positive and stay on top of things, don't get discouraged! Good luck!

I loved mine until recently, now she has just turned into a complete cow. I suppose I can't call her tmw and threaten to sit on her to get her to fax forms, can I?

Boy do I feel your pain. Exact same thing happened to me. After the six months of seeing my PCP, he informs me that he does not believe in any type of gastric surgery (bypass or band) and to just get my head on straight and lose weight the normal way. Took me two more months to get the information to my surgeon but it finally happened when I went to the office and asked for the papers in person. Show them you mean business. They are your records. She does not have to turn over originals but she does have to give you copies. Good luck and keep fighting.

I'm going to call before I go to my appt on Friday and see if they have the papers. If they don't, I will be checking out my records before my appt.
