be the best me I possibly can be

Everyone has been telling me to just barge into my doctors office and demand that he sign the ONE piece of paper I have been waiting on. I figured, I have tried absolutely every other option, so why the hell not. So I drove an hour to Lockport, told the lady at the desk the situation, and she says "Great, I will have him sign it and mail it to you.". I said, "No, I have tried having your office mail it to me numerous times and it gets 'lost in the mail'. I have also had this office fax it to me, to the surgeons office, mail it to the surgeons office etc. No matter what I do this office seems to lose the paper as soon as he signs it.". So she tells me to sit down and she will have him sign it.  I sat in the office for an hour staring at the wall, and finally she says "We don't have your chart, so he can't do anything for you.". I'm like "Welllllll, where exactly is my chart?". She said "I don't know.". Let me remind you people, it is ILLEGAL to lose someones personal file at any establishment. It sounds crazy, but its true. My social security number, home address, phone number, work number, everything is in there. So I ask her when does she think she will able to look for the file, and she says she doesn't know. I told her I was going to wait there all day, and she said that was fine but that wasn't going to find my file, and without my file there is nothing they can do. So I left the paperwork there, she said she would have him sign it when they found my chart. That was a week ago. I am officially out of options here. I am seriously tempted to find his home address and just go to the mans house and say "Hi! Sign these please!". This is getting so ridiculous.


UPDATE! I drove back to Lockport last week when my doctors office finally called and said they had the signed paper. I drove there, then drove directly to the surgeons office  to drop it off. They called today and scheduled my first appointment for April 10th!! YAY!!!!!!!! I am so happy I am actually crying!

Im still waiting on ONE thing from my primary doctor. For literally a year all I have needed to see the surgeon was for my primary to write this:

"There is no significant liver, kidney, or gastrointestinal disease present; there is no treatable metabolic cause for obesity such as adrenal or thyroid disorder."

On a piece of paper and fax it to them. The surgeons office said it could be on a napkin for all they care, as long as he signs it. So what I did was I typed that sentence up, mailed it to him saying I just needed him to sign it. That was MONTHS ago and he still hasn't done it. I have been in therapy speaking to a WLS therapist since August, and I have worked through alot of my emotional eating problems and what to expect after surgery. IM READY! Im so sick of waiting on other people to start my life. Its starting to seem like this may never happen :(

I called the surgeons office today, ridiculously excited seeing as how I got the form that they said was the "Last thing before I could make an appointment." So I call to make the appointment, and they tell me all my paperwork is expired. Since my doctor took so long to send in one simple letter of medical approval, all of my paperwork as well as my bloodwork has to be re done. They said it could be months before I can even make the appointment. I swear to god there is some force that does not want me to have this surgery!

I sent out a copy of my new insurance card today, and as soon as I got home my referral was sitting on my counter! Now I can make an appointment! Yay!
