I hear you! I was very frustrated with the whole pre-op process...meetings, tests, staff not following up, etc. Be VERY proactive and keep on top of everything. Plus, with all the appointments and tests, I had to pay $6 parking fee every time I went there. Talk about frustrating!

Just think of the positives, like losing the 8 lbs pre-op already!!! Way to go and BEST of LUCK!

hey i hear you on that. it is very frustrating. im surprised that your INSURANCE cleared you without the PCP referral. that seems odd because my insurance wont even look at the paperwork without that clearance first.

good luck to you and im sure everything will be fine! i actually love and look forward to each appointment. that way i know im that much closer to my goal. i went through the same frustration i finished my 5th dietician appointment last tuesday and they didnt leave me a vmail until this morning saying they need me to come in and sign a HIPPA form to have them fax it over to my surgeon. thank god thats done. all i have left is my last dietician appt and im done.

you got approved so quickly im not sure why the hospital is making an issue out of a pcp referral. and based on your BMI your PCP should have just typed that up and sent it right over to your surgeon.

sorry they are giving you a hard time. good luck with everything i'm sure you will be fine!!!

Well stay on it girl! I'm sure they will easily resolve the issue so you can continue with your date of Sept 5th. I'm rooting for you and wishing you all the luck in the world. Keep us posted!

Girl!!! I jut had all my paper work turned into the insurance company yesterday and there was an instant feeling of relief!! Don't let this get you too upset, becuase you are soo close to the finish line!! All of this will be a mere memory soon enough!! I'll send some prayers up on your behalf!! And congrats on the 8lbs down...That's awesome

It is around the corner and you know how it feels to be right at the finish line and something comes to try and stop you from crossing! Nope ain't going to happen you will have the surgery next week and by now I am praying that the PCP has faxed the clearance. I went thru the same thing but worst...I stopped and thought... ANYTHING WORTH HAVING IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR!!! I put my dukes up and kept doing what I needed and now my surgery is the 10th of SEPT! Keep us posted and you can vent anytime
