I don't know where to start.....I'm new at this

I sent you an email, thank you! These boards have been a wealth of information. I can't wait to find out more. I have a big Hernia that I need to have taken care of. I'm probably way out in left field.....but I'm hoping it can be repaired at the same time. I have only been at this job for a year and I have been saving up my time off to have the hernia surgery. The Dr said I would be off work for about 3 weeks. I have about that much built up now.... But it sounds like I would be going through about 6 months of this and that before I could even have the surgery. So I would have more time built up.

Hi Linda! I have Regence insurance for State Employees. I have spoken with them MANY times and they have always said THE ONLY Center of Excellence they recognize is Legacy Good Sam in Portland (The Obesity Institute). I have already begun my 6 month workup and they have paid a portion of all of my visits so far. If you have any questions, send me an e-mail! I'd be glad to help out! Deanna

Thank you Deanna! I sent you an email
