Topic: RE: So scared now that I got my date...will it pass?
Hi Robin,
I was nervous also, but mostly excited.  The hardest part for me was the liquid diet.  Have you started that yet?    Whenever I would get nervous I would do a really good scrubbing on different parts of my house.  By the time I got to my surgery date, my house was absolutely spotless!!

Keep in touch and I will keep you company as you wait for your surgery,
Susan

Topic: Insurance Reimbursement
I am in Ohio and had surgery in May of 2009.  My insurance company, Anthem, said that I had an exclusion on my plan and it has taken me this long to get any type of response to my appeal from them.  I  have 4 letters of medical necessity from my doctors and would probably not live much longer without my surgery.  This was the best thing ever but am trying to have my insurance company help pay for this wonderful, life saving surgery.  Has anyone been able to appeal your insurance company and do you have any advice??  Thanks...

Topic: RE: CINCINNATTI EVENT
 I really don't know if you can do that, you would have to email oh.com to find out, email [email protected] maybe she will have the answer.

So I see you are a Disney fan, as are we, omg my 18 year old daughter is totally obsessed. We are taking her to DW for her graduation gift this June.

When did you have your surgery and how are u doing since?

Keep in touch.

Hi Robin,
I had surgery with Dr. Schauer at the Clinic almost one year ago.  I am happy to report to you that I had an excellent experience.  My surgery went well, Dr. Schauer is excellent and the nurses and after care was good.  It takes a little while to get your energy back, but you will be fine.
I am only a few pounds from goal and have had an awesome ride.

Where do you live??  There is a great support group in Solon that I would love to tell you about.
I think the best thing is to have people to talk with along your journey.
Feel free to contact me anytime at [email protected]
