I would say spell it out for her in an email. Honestly, she might be glad for the help. I know several coordinators that appreciate the attention to detail-it makes it easier for them. I had to practically ride my coordinator because she was just too ditzy. If she can't figure it out with an email DEF talk to her supervisor. Ultimately, this is your life and $$ not hers. It definitely sucks and I am sorry to hear about your loss. Good luck going forward!

I would ask to speak to the office manager. I had a problem and after I spoke to office manager the office policy was changed so no one had to have the problem I did

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
