Texas girl looking for some friends!
Hey 30's! I'm new here and just looking to meet others like me! I would love to meet others from the Dallas area to share my WLS experience with! I am waiting for insurance approval for RNY and hope to hear something within the next couple of months. It definitely couldn't come quick enough! I love getting on here and reading all of your posts! Everyone seems so welcoming and supportive! I just wanted to say hello and I look forward to getting to know some of you!!! ~Stacey
Hey T-Willy! Thanks for the reply! I am really excited and looking forward to the surgery... looks like you are newly post-op. How has the recovery been? How long did you take off of work? I really liked Dr. Kuhn when I met him at the seminar. Initially, I had started the process w/ another doc, but decided to "fire" him rather quickly. I was referred to Dr. Kuhn by a friend and really got a good vibe from him right off. I am waiting to hear back from his office about a consultation. How long did it take you once you attended the seminar to get an appointment? I'm a little anxious if you can't tell. lol. Anyway, thanks for responding so quickly! I will definitely check out the Texas board! ~Stacey
Wow! 60 lbs in 7 weeks~ That's great! Congratulations! I have to admit that I'm a little nervous about the whole thing... insurance approval, surgery, recovery, complications... I think everything has crossed my mind at one point or another. But, I am so ready to do this! I'm afraid of what my reaction will be (notice I say "will"... staying confident that I'll get my approval!) when I hit stalls, but I know that they are inevitable. I'm sure it was tough on you when you were not able to play w/ your 3 year old son. I have a 7 month old and I worry about being able to lift him after surgery. My others are a little older so I don't have to carry them around, but we are constantly running to softball practice and games and dance class and competitions. Hopefully, it won't slow me down too much.
So, what insurance do you have? I have United Healthcare. Did you have to do anything prior to surgery to obtain approval? I would love to make it out to one of the social outings! Are there people in the area who coordinate those? What kinds of things do you guys do?
