Surgery Date set - May 8th

Has anyone heard of a way to force Teachers Health Trust in Clark County, Nevada to pay for WLS?

I visited my doctor's office (Dr. Jayakumar in Houston) this morning and have scheduled my RNY surgery for May 8th. I am on an all liquid diet and am scheduled to have my surgery at Vista Hospital in Pasadena, Tx. They chose the hospital for me byut the only other option would have been 12 Oaks in Houston. I've heard good and bad about both so I'll have to trust their decision.

Rick, Congratulations, hope things go well for you. Beverly

Goodluck and keep all of us May-bies posted! My surgery is scheduled for 5-10-06. See you on the losing side. Julie
