Topic: Insurance Question
If you're out there and have Tricare Prime, I'd like to know how long it took to get the approval for WLS.  From the very first referral to the approval for the actual surgery.  Then, how long did it take to get a surgery date?  I'm sure it's different for everyone, but I'm trying to get an estimate. 
Another question I have is....Is everyone required to go on a liquid diet before surgery?  I've read a lot of people talking about that, so I thought I'd ask. 

I'll probably ask a million more questions through-out this process, so I hope no one gets tired of it.  Thanks!!!

Topic: Gatlinburg, GATLINBURG, is calling!
 HELLO FRIENDS

I was wanting to ask if you think that you might be interested in doing GATLINBURG? I have really found some really great deals and the cost is really good too. I have found that even renting a 4-bedroom that the prices are still great. So far the cost is only about $175.00 per person. I would only need 1/2 before December 15, 2008 and the balance before Feb 15,2009.


DATE FOR THE TRIP WILL BE:

MARCH 12,2009 TO MARCH 15,2009 with some arriving on THURSDAY and leaving on SUNDAY.


I really think that EVERYONE WOULD REALLY HAVE A GREAT TIME. This will be my 3rd outing and meeting different people has really been exciting.

I will need to really start looking at all the great things that we could all do there. So PLEASE, PLEASE; lets have a fun time and let's do it in GATLINBURG.

PLEASE (RSVP) me at ([email protected]) ASAP.



Hug's
Jeannie

Topic: RE: REALIZE BAND VS LAPBAND
I recently had the band.  My doctor told me it was sort of like having the choice between Pepsi and Coke....Not a lot of difference just different manufacturers.  Good Luck

Topic: RE: MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!
 I'm new here and I had a question for Diway.  Was noticing your surgeon Dr Ross.  I was wondering if he has to same 2000$ charge that Dr. Bour's office has in Greenville.  I went there for the info siminar.  Anyone who shares that surgeon feel free to reply.  Like I said this is my first time asking a quesion here although I have been reading and researching for quit some time.  It's really helpful to and inspiring to watch you guys reach your goals and I hope to be on the losers bench with you real SOON !!!!

Topic: RE: Psych Eval - Medicaid?
Thanks for the replies! I haven't completely given up hope yet. If all elese fails, I'll just have to get the psych eval done next year, after we get our taxes. I'm just really hoping to get this done sooner, rather than later. My biggest problem is, I have a degenterave spinal diseaseand have had to have three back surgeries in the past three years. Needless to say, this has limited my activity ability, and as such, I've gained a lot of weight. Now, the weight is causing even more problems with my back, so I'm in constant pain. All I want to do is have the surgery so I can lose the weight, ease the pain on my back and finally go back to work, but it seems like every time I try to get this done, I wind up with one roadblock after another. It gets a little depressing after a while.
