APPROVED....surgery scheduler on vacation!

[jalleyne1972 10]

I've been approved for gastric sleeve since 11/11/15, still no date for surgery because scheduler would not schedule until letter in hand, even though they could have gone online and looked and also called, well they finally received letter on Friday(so they say) called Monday to ask what was the hold up and she says "its on the schedulers desk and she will return Monday and hopefully will give you a call, things are very busy around here" duh....well of course they are; (end of year) I wanted to say why doesn't she have back up when she is out...so no one gets scheduled for surgery cause she's out, sorry not good management, cause I need a date and I need to know if I have to bring any money DOS (date of surgery), which they said will not know until they schedule, and seem to me like we wasting time, been almost two weeks now, and I already met deductible, and its almost black Friday and I cant spend money until I know how much I need for surgery...LOL (AGGRAVATING, NEEDED TO VENT)

i feel for you. i was also approved on 11 11 and got my date the same day. surgery is scheduled for 12/14/15. im sorry you have to wait. I TOTALLY understand about the deductible thing.

Yes, Amy its ridiculous because I work in an office and hospital, and we don't depend on one person to do a job. I know u are happy about your date, my dummy date was 12/18, but she said don't rely on that, soooooo, the wait continues for me, good luck with your surgery.
