Hi Valarie, Congradulations! I will keep you in my prayers. I am under the care of Dr. Mekin at De Peres. Where are you having your surgery? Ruthie

Good luck with your insurance submittal! I have UHC Choice Plus and I was approved on my first letter within 3 weeks.

Thanks Crystal! I called UHC this morning. They said they received my request and as of the 11th it was being reviewed. Im on pins and needles. Im praying they come through for me.

Hi Ruthie: My name is Tressia, I live outside of St. Louis about 23 miles. You may know where, Just south on 61-67 just south of the big Pevely Flea Market. I just had my surgery on Nov. 2, 2006. I have alot of support from my family and the people here on the site is great. Unfortunately alot of them live so so far from us at this end of the State. Andrew and Brenda Minks lives south from me about an hour yet. Brend may live a little further than that. Anyway. My dr. was Dr. Halpin At Barnes Jewish hosp. I just went to my first post op support group last Wednesday and found it to be very uplifting. Something I will probably continue with. Please don't hesitate to email me if you want ( [email protected]) I will try to answer any questions I can. Welcom to the sight. Tressia
