Hi Heather,

Best of luck and don't delay.  I work in Austin and my insurance did not cover this benefit.  So I have decided to have it on November 20, 2009.

Good Luck,

Upcoming Surgery!

I am finally going to have my surgery on November 20th.  It has been a long journey for me since my health insurance with the State of Texas has the exclusion for gastric bypass.  During this legislation I did my work and contect every legilative representative & the governor to get this as an addited benefit.  After the legislation I learned that our employees retirement system had been assigned the task of investigation the cost and process to take to implement the procedure.  This will not happen until 09/2010 and the deductibles and copays are so rediculous.  So thanks to Shirley and Dr Almanaza I will finally have this procedure gastric bypass next month and I know that it will help me with my high blood pressure and daibetes.
