Anyone else frustrated trying to get together notes?



Recommended Posts

I AM SICK AND TIRED....Every time I talk to this doctor and that doctor its always a friggin hassle to get my notes sent to my surgeon. The 6 month diet notes, sleep study notes, notes from various other doctors! UGHH.....I used to live in a different state so I have no other choice but to keep calling! I've done so much to give up now! But im sooooo frustrated! :biggrin:

I would follow up with a letter. Most docs need something in writing saying that you will allow them to release info to the new doc. Something like:

To Dr. Jones- Please release my (notes, test results, labs etc) to Dr. Smith at (address, fax, phone). I will be seeing this doctor on (date) and would need for them to have the information by that time.

Then call them a day or two before the date you stated and if they haven't mailed the records have them fax them...

Hope that helps.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
