Surgery date?

09/14/2015

I went and saw Dr Westmoreland today to see if I could get a surgery date.  I stepped on the scale and weighed 229. I saw 228.8 for a split second!  That put me at 9 pounds lost and the nurse told me that was plenty to qualify!  He walked in and told me that my weight loss was perfect and asked when I wanted to schedule.  I told him lets do this thing and he sent in his scheduler.  I was given the date of October 7th initially but I asked for an earlier date if at all possible.  I was then given the date of September 30th and subsequently told "oh no I made a mistake I thought you were getting the sleeve".  Because I am getting Gastric Bypass two surgeons are required to be in the operating room (why am I just now being told this?) She then told me that she will work on still getting me scheduled for the 30th or possible the 2nd and call me tomorrow.  A huge thanks to Danielle for being my support and going to my appointment with me!

Well " today" is "tomorrow" and I am still without a surgery date.  I called Dr. Westmorelands office today at lunch and was told that it was not scheduled yet but I would get a call back later today.  5:10 p.m. came around and I called his office only to be told everyone was gone for the day.  Whomp whomp whomp.

Today is the day after tomorrow and I am still none the wiser. I did get a call telling me that it was being worked on and more than likely the 2nd was not going to work. At this point I just need a set and scheduled day so I can figure out when I will need off of work. Urgh I'm getting frustrated!

I ended up calling Dr Westmorelands office today because I was growing more and more impatient by the second.  I was told that I could go ahead and schedule the surgery for OCTOBER 28!!!!!????? Or I could wait until she talks to him on MONDAY!? I have had so much anger brewing. When I started this process I asked the Dr specifically if I would be able to have surgery the week of fall break. I was told that would be no problem.  Now I'm being told Oct 28th when 3 days ago I was told October 7th at the latest but she was going to work on getting me scheduled for the last week of September.  I could just scream right now.

So about that Last Supper.....
