Dr. Von Rueden's Support Group Mtg.

Hey - Just wanted to remind all DVR patients/patient-wannabe's that the monthly support group meeting is tomorrow night at his office at GBMC at 7 p.m. I spoke to their office today and they advised the guest speaker would be a plastic surgeon. Hopefully, they'll open up the floor for questions/comments about other wls topics, too! Hope to see you there!!! Teresa

I have my preop meeting and appointment with DVR today!...In almost an hour! I think I may have to sit in tomorrow night too! I want to plan the PS part a little better then the RNY...but, the good thing is that NOW I know how to fight with the insurance companies! I don't throw sand...I start with the little bucket and shovel!

Hey Leslie - Good luck at your appt/meeting today - there's a lot to absorb, but that binder was a Godsend!!! That'd be great if you're there tomorrow - you may gain some insight and some answers to questions you didn't know you had! Don't worry about plastics yet - too soon to drive yourself insurance crazy!!! Instead of the bucket and shovel, use a dump truck! Take care, Teresa

Plastic surgeon... cool. I want to ask about my arms. See you there!

My arms are the least of my worries! Even though they wave by themselves, I'm more concerned about the tube socks w/golf balls, aka my boobs!!!! Gonna wait until late 2007 or early 2008, though. CYA! T.
