[MiniGastricBypass]asking again

June 13, 2000

OK I hate to keep obsessing about this, but does anyone know if it is really

unusual that I filled out my Patient Information form on May 30th and haven't

heard anything? I emailed Debbie last week, and she didn't know because her

computer is not hooked up to Dr. R's. I emailed Dr. R several days ago to ask

if he got it, and I haven't heard anything. I don't want to bother them again

if it is normal for it to take this long to hear anything. It seems that many

people have heard much sooner than this, though. I waited for the mail today

hoping to get a copy of the letter, but it didn't come. Can anyone out there

ease my mind about this? If Dr. R didn't get it for some reason, then I want

to do it again as quickly as possible! I have a really hard time being

patient about anything to do with the MGB because I just want to have it

sooooo badly!!!!!

Thanks,

Sara

Sara,

Didn't you say you sent it in May 2nd???? That's the same day I sent

mine in

and I crashed Dr.R's computer...remember? Well, I got my approval about 2 weeks

later and I had my surgery 5-31. I think you should do some serious calling.

Maybe

it got lost in the computer crash. Good luck!!!!

Best Wishes,

Genz
