Referral in... still waiting!

May 22, 2009

So my PCP submitted a referral to the WLS clinic on May 15^th. I know Kaiser works slow, but what should I expect? Is there anything I can do to speed this along?  It’s only been a week but I've yet to hear anything from them at all. All you can do is call & leave a message on some voice mail for a woman named Janet w/ Kaiser's bariatric Options program stating to leave your info & she'll call you back within 24-48 hrs... well it's been 4 days since I called & I'm still waiting Janet.   
I feel kinda like I’m in limbo. I feel like I’m in the dark here until I can be informed so I'll at least know what to expect. I know the surgery itself is a long time off... I’m expecting it to take about 6 months, maybe even not until January 2010. But i really wish someone would call me back so i could just know..

Anyway, in the meantime I'll be seeing the neurologist this coming Tuesday May 26th so I'll hopefully get my 1st of the 2 ok's that I need for surgery clearance due to my disability. Wish me luck... I'll keep you posted
