*Not sure what to do at this point*

Well its been a long hard road for me, and I fought for over two years to finally get approved and get a surgery date (which is suppose to be May 9). I hurt my back about a year ago and was hospitalized last week, with two ruptured disk that is pressing on my spinal cord.*Sigh* Well needless to say I have to have back surgery on March 22, and I talked to my Back surgeon about my WLS, He told me he wasnt sure I would be able to be healed and completely back to 100%by the first of May, but that at my 6 week check up which is May 1, he would tell me. *UGH*. Not to mention that On April 15, Im suppose to go for my post op testing In Cleveland which is 3 hrs away from my home town. So my problem is this, I called my surgeons office today for WLS, and tried to explain that I really wasnt sure it would be possible for me to have it on May 9, and Tried to explain to them what had happened ( I must admit I was a little bit amazed at how rude and uncompassionate they were to me about all this) All I wanted is to schuedle a new date for like June, but possibly keep my May 9. BUT boy oh boy she was like THERE Is no way we can give you two dates. Needless to say she said someone else would contact me, but again that didnt happen yet today either. Im really a emotional wreck, and Physically about drained. Not to mention after all this, im having second thoughts about this surgeon and his staff due to the way Ive been treated today and in the past. Maybe im just too emotional and maybe I shouldnt let this bother me, Im just not sure. I feel like they would treat me better, and I just dont feel like they have done that.*sigh* Any ideas would help, Im just a mess right now.........Thanks for listening I needed to get this off my chest. Its so confusing to know what to do, its all about insurance and staying In-Network and Not paying out the A** for all this Plus wanting to go to the right place, I just feel like I havent gotten any really good support from any of the medical field over any of this, Including my back. I had orgianlly gone to the ER and was told that Fat people have back problems to go home and take some pain killers and id be fine. A year later to find that ive been living with something that could have paralyzed me possibly. *Scream* What is wrong with the medical field these days....Ok im done sorry to ramble....
