"2/27/01 I will finally get to meet Dr. Zorn for the first time 2 weeks and 2 days from today. I'm so tired and frustrated from the waiting. In the grand scheme of things it hasn't been all that long, but when each day is spent dealing with back pain and knee pain it seems like an eternity. I'm sure I'll feel better when I finally get my surgery date scheduled, or at least hear that the insurance has approved the procedure. Apparently the request isn't made until some time after the March 15 date. More waiting for paperwork~~big sigh. Dr. Zorn is the surgeon that does the RNY lap, so I will discuss that possibility with him. Wish me luck!
UPDATE 3/17/01 I met Dr. Zorn for my scheduled pre op appt on the 15th. I hate waiting, and of course I did have to wait quite some time for the doctor to get into the room. But once he got in there I did like him very much. At this point I feel safe in his hands. In regard to some of his staff and the internist he referred me to I am afraid I see a lot of room for improvement.
UPDATE 5/26/01 Had surgery a week ago. Don't know what happened, but apparently Dr. Zorn did everything right. I woke up in very little pain, and felt like nothing was done by the second day. I was lucky enough to have it done lap., and I couldn't be happier with the doctor or the results. Hope they get the problem with the office worked out soon, that and the wait were my main complaints. "
