Date is set/but still have not mett the dr!
Hi,well my date is still the 17th of August I still did not meet Dr Bellows at all,ive been up there now several times and was told that that visit was to meet dr bellows,what a joke,im thinking at this point I wont even meet him.Venessa has me going to see my pcp every friday now to weigh in and have blood sugar checked,that has to be faxed in each week,she says that if my sugars are not good they will cancel also,well I told her then go ahead cause they are never good thats why I need surgury..Then she says that she is gonna call me in a hour or so with the name of a appetiet suppresant I can buy at sams to take and we go towards cafeteria so i CAN EAT SALAD SHE SAID THE SALAD BAR IS GOOD THERE.,so anyways I fell in the hall way on a wet spot hurt both knees and fronts of shins that are already huge and swollen from my lymphedema,hurt my belly on the left side cause it hit the floor also and both ankles twisted the right one very bad.There was staff there that saw me fall and they made me not get up and put me on a stretcher,brought me to er which logically you thik they woulda tended to me fast but the nurse said it was a 6 to 10 hour wait leaning toward 10 hours ,I said well Ill just see how i feel in morning and see my local dr.So they loan me a wheel chair cause standing on my foot hurts.We go eat then go back and see vanessa she says that if the foot in broke they will not do surgyry (ya know any excuse) Still does not know name of appetite suppresant,so we go to hotel and I got ice on right foot and took ibuprophren.When I get home yesterday I had exrays done and it looks like its not broke but just sprained bad,friday ill get report from radiologist back.I hurt like a make truck hit me.But very glad its not broke! Anyone know what they appetite suppresant is from sams she is thinking off,(she waiting on a bariatric person to call her with the name)
im starting to think NO ONE meets bellows before surgery.. its seems that he must not have time to meet his patients before hand... and that they "accidentally" make our preop appt on a surgery day...this place is seriously becoming more of a joke everyday.. After talking wtih crazyduck and my current issue im having i am realizing how bad it is.i hope you get better soon
im doing a lil better
well i went for my initial visit in feb
i had to go back in march because i used their nutritionist. i didnt know at time i didnt have to use their nutritionist so i had to go back and go over that with them
the visit in march is when i had all apps done so they sent for approval
you have to go to cardiologist about a week before your preop appiontment
i dont think i had to go between those
if you have ALL your appiontments done and if they do the pattern i went through
you will just need to go for your initial appiontment and then your preop
