I called the gastro appointment desk and they were booked out for about 4 months and could not schedule because they were in the middle of switching computer systems. That was in Sept. It is complete(in Phx) by now. The girl told me I could call everyday to see if there were any cancellations. I kept doing that & I finally was lucky enough to get on the phone with someone who was somehow able to send a note in for a work around appt for me. She told me there was no guarantee, but she would try. I was making my daily call two days later and the girl I was on the phone with said they had an appointment for me in 2 weeks. I cried. Then, right after I got off the phone, the original girl who was working to get me in called me to give me the good news. I did not have to send any medical records until after I had the appointment
