HI LISA, MY NAME IS LISA AND I AM HAVING MY SURGERY ON FEB 13 AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. DR. ALVERDY IS MY SURGEON. WHAT TYPE OF INFORMATION ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

HI,LISA THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING BACK TO ME. FIRST LET ME SAY GOOD LUCK TO YOU ON YOUR WLS.I HOPE EVERYTHING GOES WELL FOR YOU. I JUST WOULD LIKE TO KNOW DID IT TAKE A LONG TIME FROM THE TIME YOU STARTED LOOKING INTO HAVING WLS UNTIL GETTING YOUR SURGERY DATE? I JUST STARTED. I HAVE MT FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH DR. ALVERDY ON 2/1. MY PCP HAVE ALREADY ORDER SOME OF THE TEST THAT I WOULD BE NEEDING. MY BIM 46.0, BUT I AM SCARED THAT MY INSURANCE COMPANY WILL NOT PAY FOR IT. I HAVE READ WHERE PEOPLE HAVE A HARD TIME GETTING THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO PAY.WELL I REALLY JUST WANT TO FIND SOMEONE THAT IS GOING THROUH THE SAME THINGS THAT I AM AND AT THE SAME PLACE. ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WOULD BE NICE. ONCE AGAIN GOOD LUCK .

Hi there, You bet I have. I had my gastric bypass, by Dr. Alverdy, July1, 1999. He was fantastic. I started out at 430 and now I have kept my weight around 225 for 2 years. He tells it like it is, has so much compassion for his patients, and he is a cutting edge doctor. If not for him and Dr. Lawrence Zachary, I wouldn't have a lifestyle today. Good Luck, let me know how you are, Take care, Always Linny
