Anyone go to Memorial Health in Savannah?

My surgeon is Dr. Whipple. I have completed all the pre-op requirements for my insurance and the Dr.'s requirements, just waiting on insurance apporoval. I have read the hospital and surgeon reviews on here, but nothing is dated very recently.

I am using Memorial as well.  My doctor is Dr. Angstadt.  I am working on my pre op requirments and hope to have them done by the end of the month.  Who is your insurance with ?  I also live in Hinesville

I have Tricare,what about you?

I have Cigna HRA throught the State Health Plan of Georgia

Hello Jillian,

I also live in HInesville and have finally gotten a date, 10/23.  I am so happy I could literally scream.  I feel for the first time in my life I can be successful.  It will be so awesome to eat a banana and say, "that's it, I am full." 

I have Dr. Angstadt for my surgeon.  I have United Health HRA, state of GA.  My process was 9 months of paperwork, tests and runaround.  I am so scared and excited.  I am fearful of getting someone's stupid cold or something that might interfere with my date. 

Good luck to you, once you ger insurance approval, complete your two week liquid diet, you are ready!!!!  God bless you and all of us.

My surgeon is also Dr. Whipple and I have Tricare prime. Got my surgery date friday. Surgery Date Nov 3, 2009

As long as everything is done and they sent it in to tricare u should have a answer in about 3-5 days and you will get the letter in the mail

Hi,nice to meet you. One of the Nurses called me Friday and said they were sending everything to Tricare that day, so I'm hoping for and answer and surgery date next week. I am still getting over broncitis I had the first week of September,I am still coughing up flem and have been taking extra strength mucinex, I just hope I can kick this thing before my surgery date when I get one.

Hi Jillian,
I got the call today that the team has approved me for surgery and that the lady who does the insurance claims will hopefully do mine tomorrow. The lastest would be Tuesday next week. Cigna has nurses and I contacted her and she will watch for the fax and call me as soon as they has an answer.
