  1. I have been struggling for sometime. In 2012 due to stressful diagnosis of cancer for my husband I had all the Fluid removed because I was having issues. I decided to wait, and recently just decided I would get my band filled again. I have been so nervous and a wreck because the last time, I had so many issues and I am scared to death to have those again. I made the appointment to get my fill on a Wednesday, they don't do Tuesdays because that is surgery day, Fridays for some other reason. Mondays and Thursdays with my work are not good. It's 70 plus miles for me to drive EACH WAY. My husband has to be at his cancer center on Wednesdays each month for some treatments and labs, so that day just works. The snot that they have working the front desk, she is just nasty anyway, called and said they aren't doing Wednesdays anymore. She changed me to Thursday, which means I would have to take additional time off from work, pay more in gas to go down two days in a row. Cancer has been financially devastating and I just can't do it. I'm so upset. I don't know if anyone else has discovered this, but if you live within like 600 miles of your surgeon, nobody else will touch you. There is a place closer, but because they consider my surgeon "close" they will not accept me as a patient. It's not about the patient anymore, it's whatever works for them. Hardship on you? Oh well!! Too bad!! Such a disappointment. Now I will have to wait another month and try to schedule hubby's treatment on a Monday. It's devastating because I was ready to try again. Sorry to ramble, Wendy

    Not about the patients...really

    I can try. I haven't seen or talked to my surgeon since my surgery in 09. I have always seen the nurses. It's a bit frustrating, they got rid of the last one because she was hateful only to add another. I tried telling her this was really my only day and she just said well we can't do it.
