Neil, good luck with the referral. i'm sure your pcp will take into consideration that this is something you want to do. just be straight forward with him.....he'll agree with you. keep us posted and good luck with your journey. :0) tammy

Hi Neil, It's Danielle from Homestead again. I am happy that you have your first appointment. But I am still concerned with your depression. I am not sure if you know but you will be required to have a psych evaluation prior to any approval from your insurance company or your surgeon. Yes, living in a body that you feel is not acceptable by society can and will depress you and make you feel as if no one cares, but you can't be further from the truth. We care, everyone that has read and replied to your cry for help cares. Love doesn't always have a face, it comes in forms that aren't tangible and it is unconditional. So keep your head up, and remember we are here to help you. But you must first find your worth and believe in Neil Intindola. Smile Neil, you have friends and we care!!!!!!

Neil I don't know if this will brighten your day or not but when you see the doctors United Health care is a wonderful insurance company. I have no problems getting them to approve the surgery I knew within 2 weeks. I hope everything goes well for you. I'm set for surgery 2/23/04 Tracy
