Hiatal Hernia and wishful thinking

[sleevefaith83 20]

Yeah, I am definitely not holding my breath for a date tomorrow. I did call Lisa today and leave a message saying I am ready before Silivia gave me the go ahead, so we will see if that helped anything. I don't know whats so hard about scheduling surgeries, but I am sure she has other responsibilities. Keep me posted ladies!!

I feel like I need an Org chart to keep all the people straight at the Nicholson Clinic - Sylvia, Lisa... and who does what!

Have any of you dealt with Abbey? She's my contact right now. I am waiting on a call from a nurse to review my chart since I just sent in my initial intake paperwork last week. Abbey did say that I should keep my phone on me because the nurse will call in between patients when she has time, so it would be hard to get a hold of her if I miss the call.

I have my EGD scheduled for Monday. Once I get confirmation about my hernia, I'll be calling Sylvia and Lisa asap! I have to say that you all are being way more patient that I would be, haha. I will be persistent with the sugar

Got ahold of Lisa via email today. Oct 22! She offered Oct 1, but I'm going on vacation and cannot do the pre-op diet in time.

But yay! I'm on the books!

Will you message me her email? Who is your Dr again?

[MeMe8264 34]

Pretty much all of their email addy's are firstname@nicholsonclinic.com. Please remember that sugar wins the day.

I finally emailed Silvia today and told her I hadn't been contacted could she please look into it because it's been over a week. She responded and said I let her know. Short and sweet Silvia (not) then Lisa emailed me and said she jUST received orders to contact me from Silvia today. So that's frustrating but I'm set for October 6!

Congrats ladies!

Did she offer you options?

[hilaryglynxo 34]

She just said that was the first available and it worked perfect for my work schedule

[sleevefaith83 20]

That's awesome! I'm excited for you.

Eek! Super excited for you ladies!!

Did you ever have an initial consult or will your trip for surgery be the first time meeting the Dr?

[hilaryglynxo 34]

I had an initial consult where I met with Dr Long.

[SaraSleeves 17]

I meet Dr Long the 14th of October and had my EGD last Friday where they found hernia. I am in the same boat as most of you hernia/sleeve route. After I meet Dr Long I wonder how long I will wait ? Will I have a list of things to do ( I am cleared through True Results) so I am hoping I just get to schedule surgery. Labs have been tracked, heart checked, EGD done..anyone go through True Results?

Still no date! ???? I didn't have high expectations. I keep watching airline tickets increase in price and I am starting to panic. But I am blessed to have this opportunity at a discounted cost so I am gonna try and be patient.

Girl if all else fails email Silvia@nicholsonclinic.com and just ask her when you can expect to be contacted. When I did that I got an email the same day!

[SaraSleeves 17]

SleeveFaith- oh no!! Still waiting ? Such a bummer. I'm sorry. Who's your Dr. again? Is it Nicholson? I bet it's even more nerve wracking knowing the flight and hotel hinge on that date! Come on clinic!
