The journey begins....

As of today, June 27th 2006...I contacted my insurance company, HAP, and asked for information and what I need to do first, to get this surgery done!!! I have my PCP's support. I am encouraged by all the profiles I have read on here. I am totally addicted to oh.com. Wish me luck!!!

If you are looking for a good surgeon I can highly recommend Steven Hendrick out of Henry Ford Wyandotte. He is head of bariatrics out there. His website is www.thebariatricsurgerycenter.com and his number is 734-285-7420. They have a great staff at his office, a nutrionist, a support group once a month, and he is simply the best!! Email me if you have any questions. Suzanne 300/150

Best of luck to you deborah!!! theresa

Hi Deborah....Welcome aboard to the best site ever!! When I found OH I was in seventh heaven!!! I have found so many helpful people here and the information is outstanding!! I also became addicted when I saw how much info there was and the profiles of people. I felt right at home here. I just got my approval from my insurance and I now have a consultaion on the 13th of July. So hopefully I am going to have my WLS soon. Good Luck and Best Wishes!!! Hugs Judy
