Answers to some Missouri Bariactric patients

Hey all I told you all that I was going for my appointment today and that I did not have a problem asking questions and all and well looks like we have a few answers.... first of all Justin DeLap is the new manager of the office and anytime you can not get any responses out of anyone else you are to call him personally and speak with him. Secondly there are quite a few changes happening and it is simply becuase when he took over as the "Captain" of the ship it was already three quarters of the way shunk.....he has slowly started pulling it back out of the water to dry ground...He now has the people in the office log all the messages and such that come in and they are to handle the call backs by the end of the day and yes Amy King is no longer with the program neither is Kelly the dietician and some others but there are many people in there now that are firm believers in the program and will be there for us if we simply give them time to get it running more smoothly. Also guys Justin is a patient himself I seen the pictures and the proof today he knows what we are all going through and he is a honest speaking from the heart man, and I believe him when he says that things are getting better and will continue... you all give them time as will I and do not give up on them for they care and all and are finally getting it all together.  Bobbie

Hi Bobbi - Plans are with Dad & I going to the isle today - can you meet me there aound 12-1?  I will call you on my cell when we get there.  I finally found your #. Met the office manager a couple of months ago and he really seems to care.  He told me that they do read the comments posted here and are working on getting things in shape and to just give them time.

Thanks for the update Bobbie - I know a lot of folks were wondering what was going on.  I think it's awesome they have a post-op running the office!!  Very cool!!! 

Thanks for posting that Bobbi......         I was starting to have doubts about them in all aspect. There the only one that take my Ins. but I was going to say heck wit it an try to get a different Ins to go someone else. I felt like If they dont have things in order now as pre-op will they be in order as post-op. What I mean by that is you leave message an dont get no return calls on ?s you need answer too. Now when I'm post- op an need help will they be able too. I dont know if post- op get more attention which they should, but  at least make me feel I'm puttin my life in a place that care an will be supporting. I had a talk wit him to an he do seems to be getting things back in order so will see. take care all an good luck to ones thats waitin on a date like me. 

Hey everyone, it's me Amy K! How is everyone? I just wanted to respond to Bobbie's post about what is going on with Missouri Bariatric Services. I no longer work for them, because Justin fired me, and he also fired Kelly as well. The other's that she is talking about are 3 temps that have been with us for several months now. I just wanted to get on here and post a message to all of my patients. I wanted you all to know that you will be missed greatly. I loved my job, and I loved my patients. As all of you know, I am overwieght also, so you know that I know the struggles. Yes, like Bobbie said Justin has had the surgery, and others. I just know that it takes compassion to make a business like this work, I mean real compassion, not "fake". (Tell ya what you want to hear type things. Understand?)   I got fired because I became temporaily without transportation for my 2 youngest daughter's to get to school. I asked if I could break up my lunch hour to get them back and forth. He wouldn't accept this, I am a single mother, just like some of you. I had no other choice, but to go to school and get my daughter's. I was wrote up the next day and told that if I left that afternoon that I would be terminated. I was forced to resign because I didn't want to have to put "terminated" on any of my future applications for employment. He wouldn't even give me anytime to get anything arranged. I will miss all of you so much. You were all an inspiration to me. There are still a couple of good ones there so be easy on them, they are working so short, and no one will get any help out there. I will be on and check my messages.  ~Amy K~
