Ty,Melissa

Good for you. I had Dr. Vitello do my surgery a year ago. I liked him. He was very thorough in explaining things. You'll probably have lots of questions and he is willing to take the time to answer. His nurses are wonderful too and very supportive. You go, girl. Nancy

Hi! Nancy and thanx for the input....Can you tell me what I should expect after seeing him and doing the necessary tests ,would it be til surgery time... He hasnt wrote me back yet, I would assume he is getting me approved through the medicaid insurance ....? not sure...I'm up to date on this procedure but not what the time frame is...Just curious so I can make certain of my transportation......ty or email me at [email protected]

If I recall, his nurse handled everything as far as insurance and approvals were concerned. I take it that you don't have an appointment yet to see him. If you haven't heard back from him by next week, I would give him a call, just to see where everything stands or what your next move should be. I think he told me, at the time, that the time frame was like 3 months from first visit til surgery. I think mine was 6 months because of some problem with insurance approval. It may seem like a long time, but use the time to prepare yourself and it is well worth the wait. I know it seems like forever, just stick to it. Best of luck, Nancy

No, havent a appt yet.....only email I got so far is the one I mentioned above....ah! only 3 months huh? that will go fast.... Thanx again....hon

Nancy , can the test that needs to be done b4 surgery be done here where I live by my PCP and fax to Dr Vitello? I just wondered if maybe if the test where done it would make things run smoother and faster?..........If not I can go to him but rather have it done here and sent to him....I live like 4 hours from his office but willing to travel there with no problem...Just a thought if this can be done or not?
