Any DS'ers?

Just curious.  I was born and raised in Iowa but live in Omaha.  I wanted to post on the Iowa boards.  I am having my DS by Dr Gary Anthone on September 4th.  Luckily I was easily approved by Aetna!

Congratulations Rita! I found that my company does allow me to have my surgery, but I haven't found out what the "hoops" are that I have to jump through,yet.
We are about 90 miles from Omaha. We live near Corning.
We actually visited Omaha 42 times one year. I was on the infertility journey with Dr. Doherty and had to drive back and forth quite a few times! Enough that we could actually take it off our taxes!

Good luck and hope to hear from you again....I'm just at the point I want a lot of info so I am not blindsided.

Hi Kim! Who do you have for insurance?  I did tons of research before even considering DS.  I am so excited.  This has already been such a long process.  Poke around on here and online and you will learn so much!

From what I know of there aren't many DS'ers in Iowa.  Is your surgeon in IA? I have not heard of a surgery doing the DS other than at Mayo (rochester, MN) as the closest to us.

Congratulations on your surgery, you must be excited.  Aetna is my insurance and can be a stickler, so good for you for winning that battle!!!

Hi!!

I'm from Iowa and am hoping to have Dr. A. do my DS.....but my DH ins. denied it.  They said I have to get permission from my DH employer so now we are starting to put a letter toghether for that!  Wish us luck!  Your DS is soon!!  Do you have an angel from the ds board??

I do wish you the best of luck! I haven't heard of that process so I hope it goes smooth and fast!  I do not have an angel yet!  I am so excited but yet cannot believe I finally have a date and it is only two weeks away!  I have been waiting a really long time for this.

Good luck and I'll be watching for updates!
