You're kidding!



Recommended Posts

You have GOT to be kidding me! I have been going back and forth between my former surgeon's office staff and my new surgeon's office staff, trying to get my information transferred between offices. The old surgeon's office manage just told me that they didn't have the pulmonologist's report. The SAME pulmonologist's report that I spent a month (literally, an entire month) getting TO THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. :faint:

This is getting absolutely ridiculous. Now I have to call the pulmonologist's office and have them send it to the new surgeon's office. I'm tempted to just have it faxed to me and then fax it to the new surgeon's office myself, just to make sure it gets there.:D

Laurend, I learned long ago to get copies of everything and deliver it where it needs to be MYSELF. That's the only way you can be sure it gets where it's going.

Stick to your guns, girlfriend. You'll get it done. :biggrin1:

I am really feeling in the mood to go play "smack-a-mole" with this lady's head. I am REALLY happy that I had to change surgeons. If they can't even keep their records in good shape, what else can they not do?

Well, I finally got everything to the new surgeon's office, I hope. I had to call both the pulmonologist's office and the psychologist's office to have them fax me the evaluations, and then I sent them to the new surgeon's office myself. When you want it done right, you gotta do it yourself!

It still burns me that the old surgeon's office lost the pulmonologist's report, though. I literally spent a month trying to get that damned thing sent to the right fax number, and they had it in their records in January.

      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.
