Now I Just Wait For The Verdic....

Today was my very last appt. for my 6 month supervised diet with the PCP. Insurance Documentation will also be sent today. My Doc says that the insurance companies are bullies and that he has a pt. who has to start EVERYTHING over again because they denied her. He said that they are so ridiculous and sees me as an ideal candidate. I am uncharacteristically calm about it yet I want this surgery so badly. March 19th is my scheduled date for surgery and I'm hoping that it stays that way. I'm so numb. I wonder if it's because I don't no how I will accept it if the insurance company denies me. Maybe if I don't go too high, it will be easier to be let down. I'm not nervous, excited...or anything. Again, I have no other choice but to wait like so many of you. I just don't understand the "having no emotion thing." Why? Thanks for letting me think out loud. Diane

Hoping everything goes alright for you and your able to keep your surgery date. Wishing you the best of luck. Linda

Hi Diane, Who is your doctor, you don't mention it anywhere on your profile? Just curious. I hope all goes well for you. Maryellen

Thanks, Maryellen. Dr. Collin Braithwaite from Smithtown is my surgeon. I see that the majority of LI-anders all have your Surgeon. Wow! Diane :-l

Penny, You will not be disappointed with dr braithwaite he is amazing. I had my surgery with him on 1/3/06. I feel great. I had little or no pain with the surgery. I just got sick with all the drugs they give you after surgery. So they removed my epidural the next day after surgery and i felt 100% better. If any questions about the surgery just emai me.

Michele Thanks for that info about Dr. B. - He seems to be liked by many at the support groups, but I never see anyone use him on this board. Good to know how much you like him. Take care, be well and much success.
