Update on Wrong Surgery Post

Dec 08, 2010

Okay here is an update :) So Im not sure if this is sabotage or just normal when you are forced to sit back and look at your situation but i have been TERRIFIED that Lap Band is the wrong choice for me! im scare of the long-term results so I have been obsessivly reading this site for long-term Lap-Banders :) Last night I read this article here about all in all being happy or sad about the choice to get it and almost EVERYONE is happy. Reading the success stories (and even the struggles) is so inspiring to me I know this is the right choice.

Well after the run-around from the Drs office (its been over a week since the no-go on my wrong surgery) I finally got some sort of answer; the Dr needs me to come back in for a sit down before he will re-send the proper paperwork :*( I am sad and a little shocked that this is falling on me when HIS office filed the wrong paperwork...but he is the only one who accept my type of INS (Medi-Cal) in my area so I feel like I have no choice. The receptionist seems to hate that ive been calling almost everyday to find answers and getting her to give me a straight answer is like pulling teeth. I am very dissapointed with that office...some have even suggested Malpractice and such...all i want is my surgery that I have been working towards. So I finally got a date to go back in and its the 14th so I will keep you all posted! Wish me luch, pray, or simply keep sharing your sucess stories :) it all helps me get through this rough time.
