me&myband

My insurance does not cover lap band for the last 5 of the  8 years I've had the band.. I'm going today to see the doctor, after not going for 3 years.. I've not had any problems and it's very expensive as a cash patient now.. main concern is the front office lady is so rude. I get severe anxiety thinking of having to go in there and see this lady. She's been his office manager/front desk for the time I've been going there and she is so rude. I'm going in today because I'm having severe acid reflux and suspect a possible hiatal hernia.. My appt is in 2 hours and I'm getting more nervous both to see her and my doctor.. since it's been 3 years.. UGH!! Anyone else not covered any more with insurance and don't go in regularly? Or maybe also have to deal with a rude front office lady?
