Update on me(LONG)
Hi fellow smores 
I haven't been on the last couple of days really because I have been mad, po'd, depressed, just the entire range of emotions. My nutritionist called me on Tuesday to congratulate me on an additional 7lb. weight loss for my preop diet. After this she proceeds to tell me that my surgeon can't operate on me due to my BMI and he doesn't have the head surgeon to be available as his assistant so.... They do have another surgeon who can do my surgery, but instead of the 7th it has to be the 9th, Not a big deal I have to now have another consult with the new surgeon on the 19th of October, mind you it is a 6 hour drive up there. Oh well bite the bullet and do it is what I decided. So then she gives me to the scheduling and lab lady who tells me I have H Pylori and have to take 2 weeks of meds, mind you they've had my lab results since July of this year and they tell me 3 weeks before surgery
Needless to say I've been totally depressed. I have to take the meds and have an endoscope done BEFORE surgery and I live in the middle of nowhere and can't find anyone to get me in as quick as I need to be. After being a pain in the butt 
I finally got an appointment of my EGD on the 19th before my consult!!!!!! So everything has worked out and hubby even managed to be able and get the day off of work so he can drive up there with me!! So I'm here and in one piece just exhausted after this little ordeal. Hope everyone has a great evening
Take care,
Anita

(((((((((anita)))))))))),
I'm sorry that things arent going like you wanted. Like this process isnt hard enough without ineptitude being rampant. The secretary at my own medical group lost my paperwork for 5 weeks!!!!!!! Its just too bad that someone oulnt have taken a moment to let you know about your lab results. well, at least you have everything straightened out(for now)
if you need to rant/complain/or be frustrated.........this is the place to come. Be strong!
take care
