HOLEY MOLEY!!!! Dr Tillquist

Just posted on here not 6 hours ago (main board), went to see C.J for my consultation & voi la! I've got a surgery date! Holy crappola! I go for test's July 23rd at 8 am & then to Tillquist at 9:15 Surgery date is July 26th got to be there at 5:30 am (ick) Surgery at 7:30 I wasn't even approved though my insurance (medicare) is that normal? Someone said i didn't need approval & the lady (Ilene) said they just send them the bill. I about pee'd my pant's when she told me this! Only bummer is that i was going to be gone that week to go to Chicago & see a friend of mine & go to Wisconsin for a Country thunder concert.. Pretty bummed but excited at the same time.. Man i can't wait to become a true loser! Am i getting excited for nothing? I still need to go to the nutrition class! lol

OMG... good for you... im so excited... that gives me great hope... my consult with Dr. T is on July 8th... and i also have medicaid.. YEAH!!!!! You have already had your psych eval already havent you? I still need to get mine.... I am going to the nutrition class on July 11th its a Sunday... Would be cool if you were scheduled for that same class... it would give us a chance to meet... WOW!!! again... so excited for you... i pray everyday that i too will become a loser... Talk to you later... Leslie

Hi Leslie! Don't get too hyper hun.. I have medicare as my primary.. I dont need a pre-authoriaztion.. Medicaid you do.. Also if you smoke they make it harder for you to get authorization.. Cj told me that.. I can make my appointment for the nutrition class for the 11th but i don't have a ride.. So i need to see when i can find a ride then schedual it.. Too chicken to take the bus.. Would chip in for gas too.. Need to find someone here in Brighton or close by that will do a psych on me or one of the 2 Dr's Ilene gave me a card for.. Watch out for Cj lol she talks fast.. If you have medicare you got it made.. You will also watch a boring movie & i can't stress how boring it is.. My mom watched it with me & the things they talked about, even she knew & she hasnt even studied this surgery.. Takes about a 1/2 hour to watch it.. Then Cj comes in.. Didja know after the surgery your pouch will only hold a 1/4 cup? Cj shows it to ya lol.. Then it's over unless you make an appointment.. If you need to know anything more & if i can help ya in any way, lemme know!!! Good luck girlie!!

Good for you!! I'm so excited for you!!
