Hello

Hi I am new to the board I have been trying to get a app. with Dr. Strickler and because i have medcaid They can not see me until November! Man that is so long to wait... Any info you all can give me would be helpfull.... Thanks

Hi Shauna and welcome to the boards. Time will pass quickly, eventhough right now you don't think it will. Hang in there and in the coming months work on getting yourself ready so you'll have an easier time when the date rolls around. I have had my first consult with Dr Stickler and I am working on losing 20 lbs while we compile the paperwork and filling requirements for my insurance company. Losing those 20 lbs will increase my odds of having no problems in post-op recovery and care. Have you done much investigation or reading about WLS? Now's the time to explore information and learn everything you can about this lifestyle altering procedure. An informed patient is a successful patient! Good luck.. and we look forward to seeing you post here often! ---Barb A
