Coming back with an edit: I COULD NOT STAND IT ANY LONGER

so I called the office, and found out that the scheduling Nurse is doing all her scheduling on THURSDAYS... so I will be hearing from her tomorrow.

Thank GOD... I think I need a drink now........ but since I'm at work.. dt. dr pepper will have to do.

Oh Tracey...thats awesome!!! :clap2:

I'll be glued to the computer all day tomorrow waiting to hear your surgery date!!! Be sure to post it as soon as you know!!

I just got back from my PCP visit, got all my medical records, and his nurse is in the process of writing my "letter" and I'll be picking it up later this afternoon!! I'm so glad my doctor is so supportive....he even gave me two new diagnosis today!! I've never been so happy to have high blood pressure and hyperglycemia in my life!! LMAO!!! I've always been borderline, but now its official!!!

tomorrow morning, I'll make copies of everything I have and then take it personally to the surgeon's office....then my waiting game begins....waiting for appointments with the NUT and psych.

Heck at this point, I'll be lucky for a March date! But if we all cross our fingers toes and eyes.. MAYBE February!

The waiting is horrible, isnt it??

:faint:

I've given up hope for word today... I hope this does not mean I will have to wait til next week to find out.

I'm so sorry Tracey....I know how anxious you are to get your surgery date...and it IS coming!!!

If the nurse schedules on Thursdays, then maybe she makes all the calls on Friday....just hang in there, you'll hear from her soon!!!

I know the "good things come to those who wait" speech probably won't help much. Hang in there Tracy you're on the right path!! :cheer2:

:update: APRIL 26th, 2007

I guess BCBS has been approving LapBands like wild fire and since they (dr's affiliation) only have ONE center that accepts them (Menorah) I am bumped all the way to the end of April.

I am a bit depressed about the long wait, but am happy to at least HAVE a date and I was put on the cancellation call list.

:typing: Now I'm off to update my RL people who know.
