Everything went great you can read my blog to get more information. Dr. Fowler's office is sending my paperwork to the insurance company next week. I am in no big rush because the pschologist is booked the whole month of August. So I really have 6 weeks to get my paperwork and testing all together. I have to do a chest x-ray, an Electrocardogram and a sleep apnea study. I am having an appointment with the dietian next Thursday. I will keep you informed. Aloha

LOL..yah i have been having really weird dreams ever since i started this journey...i guess im anxious

I called tricare- and couldent even tell me if the VSG was covered... so i am just going to go for what ever i can get... we will see-

When i had my surgery with Dr. C i had HMSA- and they paid for everything but about $2200 worth of the hospital stay, and a few of the pre op tests... BUT- i was single, and making under $30,000 a year- so when i called to make a payment plan, they said i qualified to have the extra covered by something else- so i ended up only paying the $4000 for dr. c...

DH said we can do $7000- but we cant do $17000- So i will see what happens- hopefully my PCP will give me the referal! i am nervious about it- but i geuss i shouldent be, whatever happens- happens right...

we just found out that he has to go to iraq in Nov. ---- so hopefully i can get something started before then...

Hope you are having a wonderful day!

ahh-

Sorry i have been MIA girls- My daughter got stick, then hubby, then me, the had to plan her 1st B-day....Now it is all over!!!

So I finaly made my apt. with my PCP it is on the 11th... I have been eating like crazy because i am like 3lbs shy- I am probably like 15 pounds over now! i hope i can get a referal somewhere- I am new to tricare... dont really know how the doctors with react when i ask for the referal...i hope it goes well..i am kinda nervious around it...

First time around with Dr. C everything was over the phone- i really only met him face to face on the day of my surgery...

I am in such a pickle- I can get HMSA if i go back to work for a few months- but then i have to put my kid in day care.... but i already have tricare...blaaah- I wish things were easier... I am hoping that the prize patrol will show up at my house soon then i can get my surgery...and new boobies!!

I hope everyone is doing ok- and i swear....we can livin this board up  :-)

Yeah for you! Let us know how your appt goes on Friday. And I hear ya on the "lightweight" deal. I was 221, a lightweight. Yup, yucky feeling, thighs rubbing together in this hot humid weather was not a pleasant feeling.

Happy Wednesday!
