Sentence correction

You've had an appointment with me at 1230 and it's 130, I'm calling to ask if you're still planning to come in.

Is this sentence ok?

Or should it be you had an appointment with me....

"You've had an appointment with me at 12:30" seems to be two sentences collapsed into one: You've had an appointment with me and it was held at 12:30. But I assume you really wanted to say "You had an appointment with me (and it was scheduled) at 12:30."

Can you use in conversation, You have had an appointment with me and are you still coming? Sounds very awkward and unnatural!

Shouldn't it just be You had an appointment with me, are you still coming?

Yes, except there should be a period after "me" and not a comma.
