YAY! I AM APPROVED FOR SURGERY! (((Billings)))

Thanks to the wonderful insurance girl at St. Vincent's Weight Management Clinic in Billings MT (which I HIGHLY recommend) I was approved by my insurance in 3 days! They set up an appointment for me to meet with a surgeon on March 17th! Quite the way for a born and bred Butte girl to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! WOOHOO! I am going to keep this MT board posted on my experiences.. because I think more people should know about the program that is available in Billings. So far everyone at St. V's Weight Management Clinic are very helpful and very nice to work with and be around. The RN (Misty) is one of the most educated gals around when it comes to WLS, she has had it herself and she teaches pre surgery classes and leads the support groups. I have learned more from Misty than I have online and I've spent years researching it here online. They are also going to start a local clothing exchange here as well. I will post here when I know what the surgeons are like! Houvah Payvah, Aims McB

Amy, I obviously don't get to this board very often, but want to extend you my congrats on your insurance approval and consult. Like I said before, I do come to this board about once every week or so to see what's new, and will be interested in following your progress. Linn

Amy~ Congrats and good luck! I wish you all the success in the world! Which surgery are you having? Congrats Again Kristin 200/126 at goal
