Topic: RE: Anyone else have surgery next week
HI everyone, good luck to you all next week!  I am scheduled for the 9th for my surgery.  Kind of nervious, but I just want to get it over with.  The wait drives me nuts!  I still need to pack for the big day.  I just can't believe that the day has finally gotten here.

Hugs to everyone and I wish you all the best!

My surgery is tomorrow.  I was also told to bring loose bathrobe, slip on slippers and a bottle of water (hospital water is nasty!).  Good luck and God Bless!  Don't forget pre surgery measurements!!

Topic: RE: My Insurance was denied....now what?
Definitely appeal.  First find out what criteria they denied you on.  I just read about a lady that used obesitylaw.com and had great success with them.  I heard their fees are very reasonable - $500 or less.  Use them if you need to.
