I am wishing you luck! Luckily my surgeon mainly dealt with insurance, so I really just had to transfer all of my information to my surgeon, and they did the rest.

Oh how rotten! Seems like there should be someone to talk to that can speed things up. B.C./B.S. --for shame, for shame!

Nope, nopety, nope

Ask for an e-mail address of every one you speak with , tell them to send you things through email while you wait to receive it and conduct every conversation through email, create a paper trail, or figure out how to record them over the phone. Ask their names, ID numbers and let them know they are being recorded for quality assurance

That's a sh*t situation to be in. I would have blown my top and went in on that rep. It sucks that you have to go through it but you know you'll come out on top and get your surgery done. Don't be like I would, what's that saying about honey......

      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.
