Off to Oahu tomorrow
Well it's finally here... I'm off to Oahu tomorrow to see Dr. Fowler and the rest of the team for my first round of appointments. I'm so excited and a bit nervous too. Hoping for a really quick HMSA approval and a surgery date that is very soon! I know there are a few others who have their appointments with Dr. Fowler tomorrow also -- good luck to all!

Make sure that you contact Kanani (HIGurl) she has all the ins and out about getting your airfare reimbursed and flights books by HMSA. Good luck tomorrow.

hey, i'll pray for a quick decision for you on your approval. HIgurl is right, Dr. Fowler is really nice. as for hmsa paying for your flights, every single one of my flights are paid for by hmsa. next month i will be going to oahu 3 times. twice in one week! and it's paid by hmsa. all i do is have Darrah, in the weight loss clinic, send a travel referral to hmsa for the date of my appointment. once i receive confirmation from her that she did it, i wait a couple of days and call hmsa to see if they received it. normally by then they have, and they let you know if it's been approved or not. once its approved, you just tell them around what times you want your flights to be, and they'll send that info over to their travel coordinator. normally they will ask for an email address so they can send you the travel itinerary. good luck!
