Hi have you heard anything yet? Have you gone thru the 6 months requirements? I have May and June and will have the requirements. I do have badger care. My hmo is united health care t-19. I also have Dr. Thomas Chua. I have only seen him one time and that was in Jan 2009. I hope to see him after my last visit with the dietician on June 9th. Then after I see him it goes to the insurance company and who knows how long that will be. ugh.

Well my surgery is now set for Tuesday the 21st. I like him too, just wanted to know who else was out there. Do you go to the support groups? Good luck!

Grammazuzu,

WOW!! 125!!! That’s is soo Great congratulations!!!  It does look like the conference will be a lot of fun; I am not staying at the Intercontinental Hotel, I will be staying down the road about two miles for half the price. Special price parking will be $11.00 per day, so still I am coming out ahead lol. I hope everything goes well with your knee replacement, If you do really well in your post surgery therapy with the PT you really should be just fine.  It would be great to meet you at the conference if you do go, keep me posted

Take Care
Dani

Thank you, Char. Is it only for Dr. Jahndali's patients, or anyone who has undergone bariatric surgery. Where do they meet? In the basement?

Hi Jules....

I had my surgery there in September of 2008 (Dr. Engstrand too)... and it was a great hospital.  I had diabetes back then so they had to come in my room and check my blood sugar every hour day and night and that got to be a little annoying after a while but it was a necessary thing I guess.  The hospital, room, nurses and staff are all superior!  It was a positive experience in every way.
