Hey Patterson peps. :)

So, I need the Patterson folks for a momment.... I have completed ALL TESTS required EXCEPT the pysch eval. I have an apt with my PCP to go through everything and do the letter writing next wed. Do I need to do the evaluation before applying to the program? Anybody have the name/number for me? It isn't anywhere on my application stuff that I can find. I planned on formally applying as soon as I get the letter from my pcp for Dr. Patterson and for the insurance pep's. I have done everything I can as far as the insurance thing goes, so it is now a wait and see deal. Anything else I am forgeting? Thankx everybody, I miss ya all, life has been soo hectic! Brandi

I couldn't let your post go by without at least ONE reply!!! You know I can't help you on your question, but I just wanted to say that I miss your posts! Checked out your website - lots of great updates there and pictures. Gotta love the pictures! Keep up the great work! Dina

hey brandi, not a patterson pep here either but I wanted to say HELLO.. I suppose you could call your surgeons office and ask them if you should wait or do it now? and who they recomend? my surgeon (in florida) had one guy he sent everyone to.. not the best and I wouldn't recomend seeing him for any other reason.. LOL but anyway that's in florida and doesn't help you here!! I'm on a rant... see new post to see who pee'd in my low-carb cornflakes.. lov's ya Theresa

I read your rant girl and I am right there with you! Both of you, thank you for the warm fuzzies, I am really needing them right now and miss this little board of ours A LOT!!! Finals over in 2 weeks and I will peek in a bit more til Winter Term starts up. Then....off to surgery....with any luck! I love you guys! Brandi

Oh, and thankx for the comp on my website...it means a lot... I will even be updating it soon, LOL with more pics, but I don't have my Microsoft Frontpage and just can't be bothered with too much HTML right now....seeing as how I don't KNOW IT, LOL!

Hi Brandy, My name is Susan. And no you do not need to have the eval before applying. You need to get that in asap. There may be things that Dr. Patterson requires that the insurance co. does not. When you receive info back after you send in your app., some names of pysch will be in that stuff. Better hurry. Dr. Patterson is pregnant with twins. I had my surgery on the 29th of Nov. Hope this onfo helps. Let me know if you have any other questions. Susan

NOT GOOD FOR ME! LOL! But I am happy for her. I didn't plan on having the surgery until April b/c I will be in school, do you know how far along she is? I will get my stuff in ASAP. Thankx for the heads up! Brandi

Brandi, She is due in February with twins....I have one of her last appt.'s good luck to you! Trisha
