Topic: RE: SLEEVED ON MONDAY!!!!!
When I was with Dr. Bellows, last August I was told January, January I was told June, and Febuary I was October. That was when I knew I was not likely to have surgery any time soon. So I had to have the review board at Tulane approve my switching to Dr. Noria. I LOVE HER!!!! I have had several appts with her and not her nurse. She has been so helpful. My packet of info was submitted to Medicaid last Friday, and I am still waiting to here if I was approved. Keeping my fingers crossed!!!! Anyway, I have my pre-op appt with her tomorrow and it is their understanding that they should know tomorrow or not. Upon approval, my surgery is scheduled for June 13th at 10am! I am already on my 3 wk liquid diet which is required. (-3.4lbs since I started it this Monday) It is very hard!!!! But I am proud of myself for not cheating at all! yay!! lol.....Dr. Noria is a new surgeon at Tulane so her wait is not long like Dr. Bellows. But all the requirements are the same. I definitely recommend switching to her. She is extremely thorough and very personable. I will keep you posted on where I go from here. I know this process is long and can be very aggravating but there is a light at the end of the tunnel! Good luck and keep in touch!

Hi. I'm currently dr. Bellows patient but I been thinking about switching because he is booked up until September already and I'm in college so that's going to I interfere with school so I was told by Ms. Laundry nurse if I change then I would most likely get it done this summer. Can u tell me how long it took Medicaid to approve you and how did your surgery go with Dr. Noria? Was it a wait with her like it is with bellows. I would love to hear from you

well i have been seeing a cardiologist for a few years now, but i had my cardiac clearance done after i got my surgery date. when you get your pre-op apt. the cardi will have to be done 2 weeks prior to that date so they can see the results at your pre-op apt.
