Frustrated and mad...

[Long2BFree 12]

I've working diligently to get my appointments to have all of my testing done so that I could see the surgeon. I've had to do so many follow-ups to make sure everything is getting done and sent to the surgeon... I've even had to bug the surgeon's office staff to get paperwork to me. I finally was able to make my appointment about 3 weeks ago and received a call this afternoon at 2 p.m. letting me know that they had triple booked appointments and I could either keep my appointment to wegh in only and see the doctor later or reschedule the weigh in. Apparently the office staff weighs you and then if you've lost 5% of your weight they let you see the doctor right after. I had to reschedule because it's an hour and 20 minute drive each way for me to get to the doctor. I was promised that would get in next week.

Here I sit telling myself not to get upset and eat over it but I'm eating. I had to rearrange my work schedule and now DH can't go to next week's appointment with me. I tried explaining to the staff that DH is in the military and can't make it next week do to deployments. Grrrr.... I'm so frustrated right now. :smile2:

Sorry for your situation, but always feel free to vent, it makes everyone feel better. Good Luck next week, I hope it all works out in the end.

Grrrr, that was rude and unprofessional of them. If you make a commitment you keep it - they expect us to be there on time when scheduled, they need to do the same.

But don't eat! Take a walk and burn off some energy. Just mutter while walking: "Save a waistline. Bite a surgeon!":biggrin2:

I love that San Diego Susan. Docs can be very frustrating. I feel that way about my PCP right now.

Thank you everyone for being on my side and letting me vent. It's nice to know that others can relate to what I'm going through and being anxious to get this done and on my way.
