The Dr. and I talked he said that some are crabby and that I shouldn't let it get to me. That's easy for him to say but I'm having surgery has planned .

I just talked to Dr. Hoffman and he told me that people have complained about this staff member. So I'm considering having the surgery anyway. -
Certain members of my Dr's staff are mean and judgmental, I asked a nurse about it and she said that they do it on purpose I told her not with me.

It was alot of reasons the Dr Hoffman's nurses and the fact I just didn't feel supported by them. I shouldn't have to be defensive with his some members of this staff. -

I'm supposed to have Lap Band surgery Mon July 20th but now, I'm not so sure I can go through with it. I have a lot of things going I'm trying to buy a new home and I'm stressed about it taking so long. Maybe this isn't right time for me. I need encouragement. -
I called my Dr office today and spoke to the nurse I saw Fri. she claimed she answered all my questions on Fri. she was mean and judgmental . She told me maybe I should reconsider surgery , What nerve! Anyways I got my official approval letter from my insurance and I got my med clearance . :thumbdown::thumbup:Thanks to everyone who responded to my questions.
