There is a real debate on OH about Flintstones versus non Flintstones and the quality of vitamin. I know that St. Vincent's recommends flintstones so I have always used them. Never had bad numbers and I am 2 1/2 years out. I had to up my folic acid at times but that was when I was trying to conceive.

I just called Dr. Kozarek's office.  He won't prescribe it any more.    I'd like to find someone in the Bloomington area too...

Make sure you have your questions written down so you don't forget to ask anything.  

You'll see her a couple of times pre-op, but after that, few and far between unless there is a major problem. 

You'll have a PA (physician's assistant) or nurse practitioner for follow ups post-op.

Well I have given up having the surgery close to home. . Why it would be so expensive here I have no clue. When I mention a price for self pay they sound like I have lost my mind. I can get the surgery for less than half the cost in several other states... I guess only insurance people have a good experience!! 

Anyone else have to go out of state? What did you do for followup and support groups? Any advice on this would be helpful.

Thanks.

You must have insurance, no? Because I can't figure out how this could be a good experience. THey have no information on self pay and no one answers the phone about it!!
