Feeling A Little Discouraged



Recommended Posts

So today I meet my surgeon who is so great, but after looking at all my lab work I'm missing an endoscopy which was not on my list because when I first went there I wanted the lab band. So now I have to look for an endoscopic who will give me a quick appointment because if that wasn't bad enough my insurance ends on May 31st. I am trying to stay in faith but this is such a let down.

What a bummer, but hang in there! This will happen for you! Try the smaller hospitals, maybe they can work you in quickly, it is a outpatient procedure. Your surgeon doesn't know any?

Be a squeaky wheel. Call EVERY day and ask about cancellations. They'll soon find you one just to shut you up. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Trust me. It's worth a try! B)

Talk to the surgeon and ask him to schedule you a date for the first part of May and meanwhile, check if you can go someplace else for the endoscopy and keep calling to see if they had any cancellations. It's time to be a pest! Don't give up, explain to them the importance of getting this done now. ;) The bottom line is about payment and they will accommodate if they have too. Stress that there isn't much time. ;)
