Ok so I recieved a letter in the mail yesterday in regards to my scope appointment.  Let me first explain that it is the last thing i need to do to get my surgery date.  Ok so in this letter states i will need to wait 4MONTHs for my appointments I wanted to scream........ Well today because i am such an advocate for myself i called the Dr's office that the refferal went to and they explained that well they are moving some of the refferals to another DR and that I will likely get my scope by the end of May early June.  Much happier with that answer! So lets hope that I can get this last test over and done with already and move on to a surgery date!

Hi there

First of all let me say, every time I see the heading Scope, I am thinking the mouthwash and someone is going to say they dumped on  it or something like that hahahahahah

Glad you called, we all need to be advocates for ourselves
Great that you will get an earlier day

Take care

Joyce----Today is the first day of the rest of your life

OMG can't believe that.  I've been waiting for my referral since Nov.  Got my letter the other day and have to wait till Feb 2012.  I'm going to call tomorrow about getting in sooner.  BTW I did scream when I got my letter.
Do you know who the other Dr is beside  Dr Raman who will be doing the scopes?

Dr Mapeso and Dr Davenport are doing some of the refferals,  Yeh was definately pissed when i got the letter! but much happier now.  Call anna and ask what is happening with your referal or call the doctors office they were really nice and helpful they even booked my follow up appointment while on the phone with them so even have follow up ready to go after the scope and he is decided to do the colonoscopy although not required felt that if on the table might as well cover both ends LOL.  Start making calls
