I have done everything I was told, all the test, appointments, paperwork but it seems like I have to push to get information. I was told all paperwork was faxed and to call another number Monday. Called and was told someone else in the office would call me later (I assumed later in the day). No call, no call today so I called and was told that she didn't have me in the computer and would call me later. No call !!!!!! All I need is this meeting and the surgery date can be set.

I know I am an emotional eater and this makes it so much worse. I feel like I'm being tested. This has been going on since July and I can't plan anything, vacation, I need my shoulder operated, no fund raising for my Avon Walk. I need to be able to walk 26 miles in 2 days the first weekend in May. I goes I'm just running out of patience and know I have to hang on a little long. I did 1 week of the pre-op diet, had to stop because everything is going so slow, so I will have to do that all over again. Makes me want a double double hamburger with fries!

My advice to u is to drive over to the surgeons an d not leave until u have the answers/dates you need. This would tick me off not getting answers! I sympathize with u completely!!!

I would be persistant as hell !!! The squeaky wheel gets oiled. I was lucky where my surgeons office had coordinators that handled all your questions, submissions, insurance etc etc. Anytime I called I either got an answer right away or someone got back to me within a couple of hours. It would make me a bit nervous if my surgeons office did not respond to my requests, I would probably go some place else. I need a surgeon that is TOTALLY in tune with their patients !!!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
