Hi JC,
I am happy to hear you got your approval. I got my approval the day before Thanksgiving and they called me about a week later to set up my appointment, I had it today. I am with Pres so everything is done for me, today they gave me a paper for my primary doc to sign and get some blood work done and an ekg and chest x-ray. They said as soon as I get it to them my surgery will be schd at about 3 weeks from then! It is a long day that is for sure. We left this morning about 3am and got home tonight about 7, but we did stop and do some shopping first. So I can't help you with the hotels. I understand the hospital will give you a list of some that will give you a discount.
Everything sure has gone by quickly but I am so ready for it! Good luck, keep me updated on your journey!
P.S. I tried to confirm your friend request but it just leads me to a blank page... not sure whats going on.

Mary, are the meetings open to individuals who have had any type of WLS? I was sleeved in May, 2008 and would love to start attending a meeting (I'm at a stand still and need a little motivation). Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you.

Donald, I have Blue Cross Blue Shield of NM and they covered my sleeve surgery. (By the way, I'm a Farmington gal, retired from a public service position there and then moved to ABQ.) If you opt to go to Flagstaff, which I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed. The Dr's are amazing and the staff is great. Nancy (nurse and insurance guru) is awesome at getting patients approved through insurance. I know you didn't ask me but, YES, I would do it all again tomorrow! I was sleeved in May, 2008 and it was one of the best things I've done for myself. I'm down about 147 pounds and feel like a new person! Who knew I had all this energy inside me! Good luck and keep us posted.

ChelleWiser, my doctor in Flagstaff was Dr. Robert Burger... his partner is who did Janet's surgery. I would highly recommend both of these doctors. They are professional, thorough, caring and their staff jumps through all kinds of hoops to get you approved with your insurance. I was sleeved in May, 2008 and absolutely love my sleeve, it was one of the best things I've done for myself. Good luck in your journey.
