Hey Canada Sunshine...

wow..yea...wrt the $$ thing, it does seem circumstances are working against you!!! LOL>..damn PC Financial!! However, the solution you came up with with your mom sounds good. Now...as far as getting it there for Tues...NO PROBLEM.....even if you FEDEX it on Mon, it will be there on Tues! If you can, try and FEDEX it today....if you can't....do it on Monday....and then call Kathy and tell her you FEDEXed it and it should be there on Tues. You can even give her the tracking # so she knows it is on the "up and up". In addition to the call...e-mail her the same info (about fedexing etc) so that she also has the info in "writing".

Good luck....and don't let this drawback bring you down. And, don't forget...that office works for YOU...not the other way around!!

:biggrin1:

YEAHHHHHHH SUNSHINE!!!!!! She's back in the saddle!! I am pretty sure that if you keep in contact with the office, that they won't cancel. I don't think that they can fill the spot because know one else will be ready with the pre-op diet. I can't see them turning away $15,000.00. In the meantime if they had just cashed the damn cheque they'd have the money:confused: . Anyway I'm glad to hear your doing better, stick with it, it's gonna work out I promise. I cannot believe the time your having with Dr. Cobourns office. I had nothing but good vibes there, but I tell ya when I'm there next, I'm going to tell him. That's not good for his business, he may not even know patients are being treated like that, it's appalling!! He's soooo awesome, I woulnd'nt trade him for anything, just step over top of her. She needs to be told!! Have a great day Sunshine... when is your surgery date, I forgot?

We got 'er done!

It was a brutal scramble and we went through a couple failed attempts and a near car accident..but we managed to get a bank draft in the mail today.:clap2:

Cloe I agree 100% about "why don't they just cash the damn cheque" lol ...but hey policy is policy. Not to mention they "WERE VERY CLEAR ON THAT!:angry " LOL

Bah! I don't feel bad anymore. I had to make the executive decision to take myself off the Opticrap and use a whey Protein blend instead. Since I never did receive a response, I guess I'm kind of on my own with this issue anyway. So EFF 'EM!!

I will show up on my date with a shrunken tummy and liver...and hopefully leave with a band. Fact of the matter is, this doesn't need to be a positive experience, even if I had been excited and overjoyed about it. I was so broken hearted that the whole thing was going to make me feel awful and upset just because I dont get along with my patient coordinator...

...I now realise I don't have to. I need to lose the weight and get on with my life, not make friends with icky Kathy or LOVE my trip to Toronto.

Kathy can be nasty, and Toronto can even suck if it wants to. I'm coming for my band!!!:P

Thank you Yoda for your suggestions...I am going to send that email with the tracking number. I am also going to request a new support person, (as soon as I'm feeling brave)...(or pissed off enough) lol

and Cloe, you're right about Dr. Cobourn's office. It is not a negative place, and Dr. Cobourn is GREAT and so is Marie. I hope I haven't given any newbies a poor impression of him just because of this little issue I've got. Nobody was more surprised than me when things started to go sour.

ALL you girls rock. :whoo: Your kindness has made a HUGE impact on my decision to carry on. I cannot thank you enough. :nervous :)

Hey Sunshine,

I'm way behind, but I just wanted to say I'm sorry you're having such a sucky time with this Kathy b!tch... I don't even know who that is. Never heard of a Kathy from there. I thought maybe Karen (who's Dr. C's wife)... but there must be a Kathy.

The 'money person' I dealt with was Rose. She was suuuuper nice. I would suggest you call, and as to speak to Rose. You could tell her that you've been dealing with 'Kathy' up til now, but she's been very unpleasant to you, and you feel like backing out of the whole thing rather than have to deal with her anymore! Tell her that we all said you should talk with her (Rose) instead.

:hug:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
