Getting the phone lines a buzzing

Good Morning Bariatric buddies.

My project today (again) is to get a date for my surgery.  Just got off the phone with a receptionist Sandy, she sounds like sweetheart.  We had a good chuckle over her not being able to locate my file on the clinic computer screen.  Sandy remembers talking to me yesterday too.  The same thing happens everytime I go to see a provider at the clinic.  The computer system has me hidden away somewhereeeeeeee.  This is the third day I have been waiting to talk to someone other than a receptionist.  Sandy will hear from me again tomorrow if they don't return my call.  She appoligized for the nurse who didn't call, no explaination why the delay in returning my call.

Coooool, I'm sooo glad for you. I am still waiting I just got done talking to my advocate she will be finding out why no ne has called. I'm on my 2nd week of liquids and I have 2 more weeks to go.  It's funny I thought I would be hungry but no they are great.  I'm down 13 pounds I have 7 more to go to get to my dr's weight loss for surgery.
