Tdoc giving me problems giving me medical clrearance for surgery! he says he has to see how i am first. my surgery is on June 10 and i have to have letter by june 1!! i see him today so now i have to act like im *normal* ( no crying,no yelling etc) to get him to give me my darn note! to top it all off, ive been trying to contact Pdoc for weeks for her letter and she's not returning my calls! im so darn angry i could just spit! they know i need this surgery, why the heck aren't they trying to help me? ive even asked Pdoc if there were certain drugs i shouldn't be taking before surgery and nothin' not a word from her.

i tell you what, if i have to forge those darn letters myself, im getting my surgery done on the 10th. i wish i could line them both up and smack the ^%$&* out of them.

anyone had surgery had to stop taking their meds? im on 200mg Lamictal.300mg seroquel, 900mg lithium 40mg prozac.
