Jodi_620 37 Posted September 9, 2008 Hi Nicole and Welcome! Why is it taking so long to get pre-op stuff? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicholeinaz 0 Posted September 9, 2008 Well, for one thing, I needed a 5 year history, and I have only been with my current dr for 1 year. My old dr retired and went out of the country and the office girls would NOT give me the chart notes!! Also, I'm a total procrastinator and slowly would get some of the things checked off one by one, but SLOWLY :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jodi_620 37 Posted September 9, 2008 I had that happen to me once and I put up a big fuss and won. Your medical records are yours they have no right to withhold them from you. It took me a while to get moving too...it is a big decision and there is certainly nothing wrong with taking your time. I went to my seminar in September 2007 and didn't actually get the ball rolling until late April/early May of this year. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicholeinaz 0 Posted September 9, 2008 Thanks so much, looks like you're doing awesome on your weight loss. I see you live in Virgina, how is it over there, are you in the way of any of the storms? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jodi_620 37 Posted September 9, 2008 Yeah, I've enjoyed pretty steady weight loss since surgery, hit one plateau but overall it has gone pretty smoothly. We had heavy rain last weekend and the skies are threatening us with some storms today but nothing serious...it's been a dry summer so the rain is welcome.
