Approved Again & Needing Some BIG Advice Please!

We got ANOTHER approval Monday but the surgeon at Emory has to double check with the surgeon here to make sure they agree what to do with me! GEEZE just give me flippin date all ready, LOL. It SHOULD be next week maybe two tops so ..... I'd like to know though, if anyone has some advice for me, HOW do I deal with this WITCH at my surgeon's office! I like my ex husband's new wife better than I like this woman. There is NO ONE else at the clinic I can talk with for some things and I'd rather say hell with the surgery than deal with her! I admit in my life I have met some people that I just don't like or can barely tolerate but until I met this woman I think I can honestly say I had ever hated a person but that was before her. That is the ONLY word that comes to mind when I think of her, talk to her or know I have to have any interaction with her! I have never done anything to this woman for the attitude she gives me. She has now taken to when I do need to speak to her about something she OVER RIDES my words with interruptions and CONTINUOUSLY talks over me. I tell her key things she has to know for my case, to put in my chart and later find it's not there because of her actions she doesn't get the information. She has even OUTRIGHT lied about returning my calls even though her 'log book' reflects she has called and I GUARANTEE if her phone bill was checked my number would NOT be on it but my issue is I need the surgery. I started keeping an EXTREMELY detailed log of interactions with her early in this mess! She wants to argue with me about returning m my calls because 'I called it's in my log' but you know, if a phone log was my biggest problem my life would be great. I just don't know what to do about her! I have spoke to the director of surgery who assures me she will be dealt with (I mean this woman wont even return two different doctors calls here so I know it's not just me but also doctors involved with me and it doesn't make me feel any better either) Well, if anyone can give me any advice I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Sandra, That would be great if you want to be my angle. I'm not real sure of how the OH mentor program works but I'd love to learn more about it. You'd think being 12 years post op from VBG that this would be no biggie but the closer it gets the more I am stressing, along with my health failing more daily (as of tomorrow it will be eight weeks since I've had solid food and I haven't even had the RNY yet!, just from the failed VBG!) I have tons of great advice for helping pre op and post op patients in reguards to how wonderful life is after having surgery, how great it is to loose almost 200 pounds and be happy and healthy! To buy clothes from the other side of the isle! I just don't know how to take things now that I am so sick (and I stress it is not because I did something wrong, just was in an auto accident, developed these problems and now all this, so it's new to me) TIA Huggs -- Lisa

I say you seem to be doing what you can. Just remember this too shall pass and once you get your surgery you can kiss dealing with her goodbye! Kia 284/203/155
