Anyone in Portage or Summit Counties, or used Dr. Adrian Dan?

Heya ya'll! I'm relatively new to these boards but have been cruising this website ever since Dr. Dan gave me the address. This site has been a wealth of great info! I live in Windham, which is a small town in Portage County. I'm looking for others who live near me in Portage, Summit, Trumbull, or Geauga counties to network with. I'm especially interested to chat with people who have had their surgeries with either Dr. Adrian Dan, or Dr. Zografakis through the The Bariatric Care Center at Akron City Hospital.  Also, I'd love to hear from folks who have MMO-SuperMed Plus. How was the approval process? They have a $10,000 lifetime benefit, so I was curious how others overcame this roadblock (I plan to self-pay the balance). Thanks so much!

Where I'm at in my WLS process:
I'm a partial self-pay; waiting on Clinic to determine my OOP exp. Broke elbow on 5/5/07 and have used up all my sick/vacation time. Will also use all 12 weeks of FMLA, so will likely have to wait until 4/08 to schedule surgery.

Just saying Hi   from Ravenna.  I had my surgery at St Vincents in Cleveland on April 19th, a little over 7 weeks ago.  I did not have your insurance either, sorry I couldn't be of any help there.  Welcome to the boards and good luck in the process. Debbie

Thanks Debbie! We live so close...AAMOF, I am in Ravenna almost every day now-a-days. Between having to go to RMH for physical therapy and visiting my BF who is in ICU with pneumonia, I am there a lot! How is your weight loss going?? I can't wait to be a Big Loser too!!

Hi I am in Summit county! I used Cleveland Clinic so can't help with the docs at Akron City. But I have heard good things mentioned about them.  Would love to chat and answer any questions you have! Good luck with your journey!

Thanks Kim! I'm sure that as my time draws closer I will have tons of questions! I originally wanted the LapBand but after several consults with my doc and much research, I think the lap RNY will be best for me. I have already had so many hurdles to cross, but I can't think of a better reason to keep on, keepin' on!
