Topic: RE: Dr. Smith @ KDMC
It depends on the Ins Co. I have Dr. Wheeler. They told me not to call the Ins Co for 10 days to 2 weeks. To my surprise I got a letter from the Ins Co in about a week. I didn't know what it was a first, called the Dr's office and they told me it was my approval.
Good Luck!

Topic: Dr. Smith @ KDMC
I gave all my paperwork to Dr. Smith's office on Tues. How long after this can I expect to hear from either the Dr. office or the ins. co.?
Thanks

Topic: snow again, seriously?
Okay, I don't post much on the state forum, but this morning I woke up to more snow.... I don't know about anybody else, but I'm really really ready for spring. I'm freezing and cleaning off the van every morning is getting old. Sorry to vent just really ready for some warmer temperatures. The snow has been beautiful..... but well I'm ready for the snow to go into hibernation until next december and for some warmer temps (I'll take 60 degress that would be awesome!!!)

Topic: RE: Surgery scheduled!!!!!
Hey Toni,
Congrats on getting your surgery all scheduled. I, too, am VSG pre-op -- or at least I think I am. I've done the preliminary consult and leg work with having surgery in Somerset, Kentucky, but learned just today that perhaps they are no longer doing this procedure at that hospital. Now I'm totally bummed, just waiting a telephone call for clarity on what the heck is going on.
Can you tell me more about your surgeon and the hospital where you're planning to have your surgery?
From reading your post, I certainly feel we share the same values and hope we can share the journey ahead.

Ladies -
You are almost exactly one year behind me. I just want to wish you the very best. I am simply amazed at how different my life is now. I am 135 pounds lighter than I was a year ago. I have gone from a 3x shirt, and very tight 26 (*should've been a 28, but did not want to buy new since I was having surgery) and I am now in a 10 with a medium shirt. But more than sizes I have soooo much more energy and am living my life more than before. Here is a funny to put it all into persepetive: My hubby told my father he didn't need to trade me in for a younger model as he already had a trophy wife
! I would NEVER imagined being called that or being told not to loose anymore weight I was getting too thin (I am not,as I am just above the normal range in bmi) or any of the other compliments I am being given.
It has been an amazing journey...work your new tools...and do your best. The beginning IS the easiest...work hard then and you will truely be the most sucessful.
I wish you the very best in your journey!

Topic: RE: VSG with Dr. Husted Coming Up
OMG, thank you so much for your reply. Needless to say, I will follow-up immediately.
Topic: RE: VSG with Dr. Husted Coming Up
Not to rain on your parade or anything, but have you visited the hospital's website lately? From what I understand, the hospital is not allowing the VSGs at this time (may be changed in the future) and there has been a lot of conversation on the DS board about all of his surgeries being cancelled.

Congratulations, Toni. I know how you feel. I am scheduled for Mar. 18 at St. Joe's E. in Lexington. I am so excited and beginning to get nervous, too. I, too, am so thankful to God for giving me a chance like this. It is by His grace and love that this is happening for us. Praise His holy, blessed name. He has truly blessed us.
