Freaking out

[Amanda R 56]

My initial visit with the surgeon is tomorrow. I went and seen my PCP on the 21st to get my referral. He took the paper, said he'd take care of it etc. I started my 6 month supervised diet on the 21st too. I called today to check to make sure they had faxed it over and neither place acted like they knew what I was talking about!! I called my PCP twice and the first time they couldn't find the nurse that handles that, then the second time they would make it high priority and get it done tomorrow.

To top that, I was actually suppose to have the form with me according to the paperwork-but they insisted on faxing it over. If I don't have that referral I don't get my appointment. My boyfriend had to take off work to go with me, because they require your support person be there. It would def suck to have it cancelled because they couldn't send over one form. GRRRR

My doctor's office did something similar to me. They told me they would fax it and asked if I had the fax number. I pointed to the bottom of the form and told them that was the number, where it said fax to #. Then, a few days later, I got a call from them, asking if I knew the fax # to send it to. I pointed out, yet again, that the number was on the bottom of the form. A week or so later, I get a call from the surgeons office. They tell me they have everything they need from me in order to schedule the surgery, with the exception of the doctors referral. I explained the situation and the surgeons office called my doctors office to get the referral. They finally have everything they need.

Keep your chin up, I'm sure they will figure it out for you. Good luck
