still waiting

was approved with Dr. ANdrei on 3/11/03 still waiting for a surgery date. Have called the office many times. My date was supposed to be the end of July, Then definately in september, called today again now it is sometime in November. If I didn't already pay for the consulation of 2 different doctors, i would switch surgeons again. Asked if Dr. A could call me, office manager said he is too busy and would only call if it was a medical emergency. I am busy too. he wasn't too busy when he took my consultation fee and deposit back in march. I like Dr. A. But this is ridiculous.

I would change surgeons, because that kind of wait is unreasonable. Write him a letter and for your deposit to be returned. I would suggest that you contact Dr. Mehta, (732) 745-0999, www.mehtabariatriccenter.com, usually they will get you scheduled in short order. I had surgery just four weeks after my consultation. Good luck.
