Hello All!

I have never posted on this board before. I am in Franklin, TN and I was reading some of your posts and you guys are all so friendly and helpful. I wanted to tell you that I'm having my surgery on August 10th (exactly 8 days away) at Williamson Medical Center, Dr. Oxley wil be doing my Lap Rny. So wish him luck and pray for me. I am beside myself with excitement and cannot wait to get to the losing side. I will be doing my happy dance on the 11th.

Whoo! Don't dance to much on the 11th darlin - We don't want to hear you got hurt! By the way, I've never heard of Dr. Oxley! I wish you the best of luck on Monday - You'll be a big ol loser! Ohh one more thing - STOP BEING A LURKER! Hehe! We wanna be updated on your journey! Good luck, Best wishes, and I hope you have a speedy recovery! Hugs, Katie

You are too funny...Thanks!...still dancing

No No! Just being honest! We don't want anyone hurt and we don't like lurkers - Well yeah we do but we'd rather you join in!

Welcome!!! Good luck on your surgery! Mine is the 16th. Can't wait to join the losers!!! God Bless! Donna

Hi I am planning on taking Dr. Oxley seminar on the 23rd. What can you tell me about him, like after submitting the paper work, how long did it take to get an appointment. Any out of pocket fees? All I need to have done is a psych eval. I have medicare/blue cross so I know they won't take long in their approval. After being approved, how long did it take to get a surgery date? I'm happy for you. Keep us posted. Dr. Oxley is basically my last chance or best chance of getting the surgery, so anything you can tell me would sure be appreciated. have a great day and best of luck to you Kathy

Hi Kathy, I went to the first seminar with Dr. Oxley and waited for his first surgery to be in July, we sent my paper work off at the beginning of July. I was denied the first time and did the appeal letter, which was approved in a week. So the time has actually flown by, I kept saying it would never happen and now it is in 7 days. I actually have had my date before I was approved. Pam Davis is very organized. I haven't paid anything at all so far for out of pocket, everything has been included as part of the surgery. To be honest it has all gone very smoothly, the longest wait was probably for the hospital to get prepared to start taking patients. I hope this helps. I will be happy to answer any other questions you have. Thanks for wishing me well. Theresa

Hi Theresa Best of luck with the surgery. You know you'll be in our prayers Hugs! Jen
