I fought the ins. co. and won!!!!

Well, I wanted to shout from the roof top today, that I battled with my insurance company and I was victorious. I had posted earlier that I was looking for a doctor here in Illinois, but my insurance company Tricare (military) was referring me to a doctor in Wisconsin.  I did my research (about 8 hours worth) and the only doctor I could find was The Kane Center, who would take my insurance but they were non network.  The two drs. who  were on my provider list do not accept my insurance for WLS (go figure).  So, after several hours of go around with the insurance company discussing the issues I had with going to Wisconsin, they agreed to let me go to Dr. Kane, Jr.   I followed up just to make sure that the dr's office recieved the referral and that there were no issues. So, now I go to the seminar on 9/22!!!!!

My husband and I will be there to give our testimony that day as PO patients. I would love to meet you. Christine

I look forward to meeting you and your husband.  I truly enjoy this website and all the information I have acquired. 

Hi Wendi. Congratulations on winning the battle with your insurance company. You will love the Kane group! I know them all and they are the best doctors. I've worked with all of them except for Dr. Wallace.

If I can, I too will attend the Saturday seminar on the 22nd and would love to meet you! YAY!!!!! Lucy

Thank you to everyone *****sponded to my post.  I am impatiently waiting for this seminar, because I want surgery sooooo bad.  I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. 

I look forward to not only the opportunity to meet some of you on the 22nd, but I am seriously considering putting my homework on hold and coming to the get together on the 23rd.

 

Good for you,  In this day of insurance you have to fight for this surgery.  They know it and if you you don't put up the fight you won't win.  Good luck with the surgery.  Be prepared, make sure you follow all the direction of your surgeon and make sure your exercise to keep those muscles toned as possible.  And lots of water.  Barb
