Frustrated!

I'm about 2 months out and down almost 65 lbs! These last few weeks have been above and beyond difficult. I haven't been able to keep down much food at all. 2 1/2 weeks ago my Dr. sent me to have a gallbladder ultrasound because i have been having alot of pain in my right side. I called the office a few days later and asked what my results were. They said that I had sludge and gallstones and that on my next appt they would do a surgical consult for me to have my gallbladder removed. So I went to the doctor yesterday and I explained to the doctor that I wasn't able to keep much food down at all and that I felt weak. He said that while they are removing my gallbladder he is going to do an endoscopy to make sure that I don't have any sutures. The problem is they couldn't schedule me to go in until the middle of April! I'm very frustrated because I feel like if I don't start getting food to stay down I'm going to end up in the hospital! Sorry ... I just needed to vent!

They can't even do the endoscopy until mid April?  Wow.  I suggest asking them to refer you to another doc that can do the procedure in a timely manner, then.
