Good for you girlie!!

Get ready for your new life!!

Good thoughts for you!!

I believe there was one, but it closed down due to inactivity over the summer. Maybe with the fall here it can get going again.

    It took me several weeks to get my approval because the girl who does their insurance stuff really dropped the ball on mine.   First we had that big snowstorm in December so their office was closed for several days and then she told me she had been told there were some documents the insurance needed that weren't faxed over with the original approval request.  She told me that she had sent everything over but then another time I talked to her a couple weeks later she told me that she hadn't sent them yet so she basically admitted she had lied to me the first time just to pacify me.   Once she got on the phone with my insurance they approved me right over the phone and then immediately sent the approval letter.   I hope she gets right on your approval and does it right the first time so you can get your date scheduled.  Are you going to have the surgery at Good Sam? 

Any word on Salem's progress toward a COE certification? I'd rather not travel to Portland, but as a higher BMI patient, maybe that is the better option for me.

Hey there.  I had surgery seven years ago in Sept. in Anchorage Alaska with Dr. Todd at Alaska Bariatric Center.  I'm doing quite well.  I'm looking for a Primary Care Manager here in Coos Bay/North Bend area and really don't need to see a surgeon but I would like to find a PCM who has experience with Gastric Bypass pateints.  I have Tricare (yep, husband is in the Coast Guard).

Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thank you!
