Topic: RE: insurance
How long do you have to stay there? I have to be in Houston for 2 weeks. It's going to cost a fortune to stay in a hotel. I will only be in the hospital for 2-3 days, but they want me close in case of complications. Did you know that you can claim the overage of costs of the surgery on your taxes? Contact your CPA for information. It won't pay for all the costs, but you can claim about $50/day for hotel costs. Let us know how things are going. Kelly
Topic: RE: insurance
Thank you for writing. I just got off the phone with the insurance company. What a bunch of crap we have to go through, huh??!! So much for paying all those premiums.... Guess you can see I'm pretty frustrated. I was transferred three times and finally got a "nice" person. Who will you be having surgery with, Dr. Blackstone? What a shame we all have to go out of state for help. Hang in there too and write again if you want to compare notes. Thanks, Kelly

Topic: RE: insurance
Stay positive and have your ducks in a row if insurance says No. I have heard that some insurances will deny first to see if you will give up. I am hoping ot have all of my information to the surgeons office on Monday to have it submitted to insurance so I understand your feelings.
Topic: RE: Las Cruces Moms or Silver City
Just curious if you did end up moving to Las Cruces after all. I have been here a year so far,from Phoenix, AZ Even though it took me a couple of months to get used to a small city and from being homesick,I now love it here and really can't see myself going back to AZ any time soon. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you.
Topic: RE: Anyone else from Albuquerque?
Hi,
I am originally from Albuquerque, but have lived in Texas for quite a few years now. You might try posting your question on the Texas Boards...I know there are quite a few people that have used Dr. Davis. Good luck with your surgery!!!

Topic: OH Events contest: where do YOU want us to come?
The 2007 event year is quickly coming to its end. We've had a lot of fun, met hundreds of people, made new friends, strengthened each other, and empowered ourselves to continue on our journeys.
With the close of the 2007-year, our eyes turn to the future, to 2008. Where will we go?
Our team has analyzed locations, researched demographics, met with support groups, consulted with area professionals for hours.. and HOURS.. and hours! We do this because YOU are worth it. It is our goal to reach out to as many people as possible. But, we can't decide where to kick off the 2008 year! We've arm wrestled, had ping pong tournaments, basketball games and other battles of wills.
So... we need your help to make this decision! We're having a contest. Where do YOU want us to come to? Let us know!
For the month of November, we will leave this post up. Reply and shout out to us where you want us to come to. If you have ever wished for OH to come to your area, now's the time to speak up! Get your friends, surgeon and support group involved!
Simple reply to this post and let us know the area you want us to come to. At the end of November, we will count up all of the votes and we will make the announcement in December.
Rules of the game:
-Since this is a member's contest, you must be a member to vote
-Each member can only vote once for the same area
-Members CAN vote for multiple locations
-One post, one vote. If you want to vote for another location, make a separate reply.
-All votes have to be a reply to this one of the 'contest' posts
-Due to logistics, we may not be able to come to the exact city requested, but we will come to that 'area' as close as possible.
So now is the time to let your voice be heard! Where do YOU want us to come to?

Well, I finally heard from Dr. Davis' office in Houston. My file has been sent to the insurance company for final approval. I'm praying that it will all be ok'd and done by the end of the year. Am I hoping for too much? Any suggestions for how I should handle my call to the insurance company to see about "pre determination"? Wish me luck! Kellymb
