Scope
Ok so I recieved a letter in the mail yesterday in regards to my scope appointment. Let me first explain that it is the last thing i need to do to get my surgery date. Ok so in this letter states i will need to wait 4MONTHs for my appointments I wanted to scream........ Well today because i am such an advocate for myself i called the Dr's office that the refferal went to and they explained that well they are moving some of the refferals to another DR and that I will likely get my scope by the end of May early June. Much happier with that answer! So lets hope that I can get this last test over and done with already and move on to a surgery date!
Glad you took it upon yourself to call. Sometimes the squeaky wheel does get the grease! Hope it goes well. Good luck.

OMG can't believe that. I've been waiting for my referral since Nov. Got my letter the other day and have to wait till Feb 2012. I'm going to call tomorrow about getting in sooner. BTW I did scream when I got my letter.
Do you know who the other Dr is beside Dr Raman who will be doing the scopes?

Dr Mapeso and Dr Davenport are doing some of the refferals, Yeh was definately pissed when i got the letter! but much happier now. Call anna and ask what is happening with your referal or call the doctors office they were really nice and helpful they even booked my follow up appointment while on the phone with them so even have follow up ready to go after the scope and he is decided to do the colonoscopy although not required felt that if on the table might as well cover both ends LOL.
