Hey guys, just wanted to ask if anyone has used Dr. Augustin and if so, how long after your consultation before you actually got in for surgery??? I have my consultation Monday, and I AM SO EXCITED!

Hrm, it really sounds like they've changed a lot of their rules since the last time I was there, but I did just talk to the scheduling nurse, so it should be OK.....I have only been to one meeting, and I've got my packet and completed it, along with my past medical histories etc. to bring in tomorrow. I do have Medicaid, but its MC+, Blue Advantage Plus, and they know this already...but I am not interested in Lap Band and I live in KC so I should be set....so maybe only 2 months until my surgery??? WOO that would be great! I know a lot of adults have been cut off of medicaid, so maybe that will get me in even faster. I am planning on going to the next meeting....my BMI is like 42, I have severe asthma, sleep apnea, knee problems, etc. so I'm hoping my ins. WILL approve me......oh well, I guess we will see tomorrow.....

LoL yeah, I'm hoping!! I just got off of the phone w/ my PCP's office, and apparently they have faxed the referral FORM but not the letter of recomendation, but they have it prepared and the doc is going to fax it over when she gets in this afternoon - which isn't until the time of my appt! ARGH! But alas, they tell me @ Dr. Augustin's appt. desk that it's fine and to go ahead and come on in! Fingers crossed for me ladies and please, if you have any input about this doc, lay it on me!
