I feel so angry right now

I have been on my liquid diet for almost a week and my surgery is suppose to be Monday morning. I had my appointment with the nurse this morning and thought all was fine. I get a call from her this afternoon and she asked me when the last time I had a endoscope was for my Barretts Esophegus was and I told her about 10 years ago. She asked me who took care of it and I told her my PCP did and she gave the Protonix for it. I was then informed that Dr. Stannish thought that I was getting yearly scopes. I told her no because no one told me that I had to. She then told me that I would probably have to have one before surgery. She told me that I will more than likely hear from the office some time soon. All I know is that I better get one this week because I am not going through all of this for nothing. They have known about the Barretts Esophegus for almost a year. I put it in the papers that I filled out and sent them last year!!! I am so angry and I feel some other feelings that I am not even able to name right now. Is this ever going to end?????

I'm sorry that is happening. It would be very frustrating. I hope they can get you in this week, too.

I understand your frustration--especially considering you put the information in your paperwork.  I hope they are able to arrange the endoscope for this week and you are able to have the surgery as planned. My thoughts are with you!

They may be able to do the scope right before your surgery. Dr Cacucci did a scope on me before starting my surgery.
