So Discouraged

[grannykathy 31]

I keep on the 1200-1400 cal lean/green...been at it now for 5 weeks. Approved but still no surgery date ... hard to stay focused when i have to keep bothering the office...get me a surgery date! I have been waiting 14months ...changed surgery groups ... now just interminable waiting...still going to group support meetings.

This does not sound right .... Very strange. Did other people in the support group have the same problem??

That's strange...I would keep bothering them...Im fresh like that! lol My surgeon gives you a tentative date the same day they send out for approval, if you get approved before the date you get your surgery.

Wow! That's really strange. Never saw that before. Any reason for it. Even after changing group too?

I would call and bypass the front desk people. Talk to your nurse, or even try to get in touch with your surgeon. If all else fails you might want to contact a patient advocate lawyer and see what they say. The squeakiest wheel gets the oil. Make yourself a pain in their butts. Literally call every day until you get an answer. Once they start to get annoyed they will start asking questions and make.it happen.

That's great advice Bert-N-Ernie! You should start there.
