I am backkkk... And having my saturday morning coffee. I spent three days at my sisters. Thats where I have been. Had my toofies pulled, now I have absolutely no cavities in my head, except for the one in my brain, hehehe  .
And I got the paperwork hand delivered to PCP, and they are supposed to fax things to surgeons office. I will check on that next week and make sure they did. If not then I will have no choice but to change doctors, but will cross that bridge when time comes. Hopefully not til after surgery tho. They better get on the ball there... I am ready now! And I told Dr. Cagle that too. He said they would get on it. We shall see.
Hope all has a wonderful weekend, it has finally stopped raining here, Yayyyyy! and  I hope it starts cooling off some, and those nice fall temps arrive soon. I am more that ready for them, and so is my asthma lol. I hate summer temps.
Well I am off to do some board reading, ttyl...

Good morning! Hope you have an excellent weekend! Are you in a lot of pain with your mouth? NO smoking, or you will get dry socket and that hurts ohhhh so bad. Also no sucking on straws, etc. It makes the clot dislodge then that tooth (where it was anyhow) gets infected and hurts so very bad. I had that happen with a molar I had pulled a couple of years back.

Do not change PCP's until they have done thier part, or the new one may decide they don't know ennough about you to provide the info needed. Not unl;ess you have to. Instead, I have a suggestion for you. I had this problem with my pcp's office and the suggestion I am about to give you worked like a charm. Its a pain, but effective.
Call them every morning, then again every afternoon, until they have done it. Once they say they did do it, call your bariatric office and confirm they recieved it. If not call the pcp again. They'll get tired of you bugging them and get er done. The last call I made to my pcp, and got the answer that it would likely be going out later that day, I told them I have been told this for a week. So I told her I'd be in and I will sit with them there at the office until it is done, if it were NOT sent today. Funny thing.. they got it out before the office closed that day! I was fully prepared to go the next day and sit there and bug them every 10 minutes until it was done, and they knew it...lol

Yes I can be a pain when I feel the need to be, but sometimes you do need to be, because this isn't about them, so they are in no hurry. I guess i was very persuasive... lol . I have hit a point in life where i do  not go for game playing, and this was one area I was NOT considering playing thier game.

Good luck and keep us posted. Stay on thier behinds! Squeeky wheel gets the oil!
Love and Hugs!

I fully intend on buggin the **** outta them til they get it done. I am going to call Monday afternoon and make sure they faxed the stuff over. If not I will make it a point to go back to their office n bug them til its done.
It amazes me how some dr office staff acts about things like this.

I hear ya!  It's not thier lives and health...so they are in no hurry I guess. Some docs are great about it, but you and I both seem to have procrastinators!
Good luck, let me know when it happens!

    Glad to know I am missed when I go away for a few days, you raise my moral on that one. Makes me feel good inside to know I have found the most awesome group of friends on OH.  Huggz to you Vick, you made my day.
    My teeth being pulled didnt hurt, i only felt one little sting from the numbing, and I know they stuck me at least twelve times to deaden it all. They were very gentle, and extremely nice people. It was only the second time I had been there. They were great.
    Now I will be glad to get my dentures, dont know how long I will have to wait for them, but at least I still have my old top plate. I plan on keeping it for emergencies, yah never know what could happen. And I am the worst at dropping them in the sink, am suprised these have lasted fifteen years lmao. 
     Well I am off to watch some tv after I check my yahoo mail.   
  See yahs in the morning.
