Finally got my doc's letter and records today

Geez! The transcriptionist has been out for a bit and it has just about been killing me to wait for my letter and records. My doc's office finally called this morning and I ran over and picked everything up and just faxed it to OHSU. Hopefully, they'll evaluate it and call me within the next week or so. I am so anxious to get this show on the road. I was cringing, wondering what my doc really thought of me, and he basically says I'm a good kid with a weight problem and co-morbidities, and he supports my decision to have WLS! Ah, now I can relax and have a good weekend. I'm so relieved! Linda

I bet you get a call today to set up an appointment!! Enjoy your weekend!! Bil

After my doctor faxed my records to OHSU they called the next day. So hopefully you will here from them on Monday. The appointments are out about two weeks, but at least you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck! Randy

Oh cool! I've been waiting so long for the records, I didn't want to get my hopes up. If I hear from them early next week, I'll be happy. Well, I AM happy!

Every step like this is one step closer to GOAL!! Congratulations!! Darla

Linda I'm so happy for you ,progress at last .It sounds like they get back to you pretty fast after they get the paper work. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you in that it will happen fast ,I hate the waiting too. Jo Ann

Well what great news! Now let's hope they don't take too long to contact you. Have a great weekend!

WTG LINDA! I bet you won't be too far behind me!!! Good luck on Monday! ((((( Huggs ))))) Jackie

Congrats Linda, you will be on the way very soon. Seems like it went pretty fast didn't it? Oh probably not to you though!!! Julia

LOL - thanks all. I was beginning to think I would have to go over to my doctor's office, rip that tape from the transcriptionist's hands, and type the dang letter myself! In the end, it really wasn't that long and my doc wrote such a nice letter. I was so nervous before I read it -- I kept thinking, "what if he thinks I'm a total nut?" Anyway, it turned out fine. I hope to hear from OHSU next week. I just hope they have all they need to make my appointment, otherwise, I'll run around as much as I need to to make sure they get it all. Linda
