Where are all the surgeons?

Its superstition on my part...im with Dr. Smith in GA for my revision but i dont want to put anything down until i get the ok from my insurance. BUT if i ask questions that relate to my surgeon i state that im with Dr. Smith.

Hopefully in the next month i will be able to proudly display my surgeons name and surgery date:)

I do agree that if you know your surgeon and have a date you should put all that info down.

I, also, love went people put down their height in their signature bar if they have their weight stats also (i plan to do that once im switched) but thats a personal perference and i would never want to pry or make someone uncomfortable...just thought i would mention it:)

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

I also have been asking people and not getting replies.  I wonder if more surgeons are requiring folks to sign that they won't discuss their surgeon on-line like MY surgeon did (and I ignored).

One:  I wouldn't trust ANY doctor that was so nervous about patient reviews that he/she would insist they sign a confidentiality agreement. What does he/she have to hide?

Two: People can always use screen names on the board and a fake real name to register on OH, if this is an issue. The free flow of information is too important to be bullied into silence.

I'm glad you have spine.

I never listed mine because I'm still early in the process and haven't even met the surgeon yet. I guess I can put who I plan on having if all goes as planned...

That's understandable.

But people with surgery dates and post ops have no excuse.

OH should have other designations available, "researching" for one. Or "DS Wannabe."

I never listed mine because you had to put in a surgery date. I had no idea what my surgery date was or is. I put in a fake date, I know it's going to be in September, I just don't know the day. So no one hold me to it, OK? We just sent off for approval on Friday.

We absolutely WILL hold you and the insurance company to it! They'd better hike up their britches and stamp your file APPROVED!

Bugs me to that people do not list where they are from. It makes it much easier to make friends and find local support groups if you list where you are from. In fact....why not fill out your profile as complete as you can????

That is my two cents worth.
