whitney423 0 Posted September 22, 2016 So I first decided I wanted this surgery when I went to a seminar in June. I filled all my paperwork out then and scheduled my first appointment in July. That got rescheduled by the office for September, and now I find out that the doctor has medical issues and is no longer performing surgeries. I know he can't help that, but its so frustrating to wait this long just for my first preop! Now I have to start ALL over with a new doctor in October. Anyone else feel like they have problems straight out the gate? Rant over. Sent from my VS986 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted September 22, 2016 I had delays due to financing issues. Although the process took longer than I had hoped, everything worked out great in the end. I believe I had the surgery when it was supposed to happen. I know it is frustrating. The key to getting through the preop phase is to practice polite persistence and patience. It will be with it.
