Well how is it going? My surgery has been approved now I am just waiting for the scheduler to call me to schedule it. I really though this process would go faster. i am so ready for the surgery. I can't wait.

well, what's the status with your process? I have a doctor's appt on the 15th for garth davis in houston. we shall see what happens? I hope these stupid hurricanes don't mess anything up for us. keep me posted.

well i can't use that doctor. yesterday was my inital appt and everything was going great until they found out i had cobra right now. they don't accept cobra. i can't believe for the price i pay for cobra they won't accept it because they have been burned too many times. well that's not my fault. i was so mad. so it looks like i will be going to houston. if that doesn't work out, oh well, it wasn't meant to be. How is your progress going?

well I have decided to look to see if Dr. Hahn was on my insurance as well. and guess what, he is? my appt with him is next wednesday. so we shall see. i am pretty happy right now since I don't have to go to houston. my only obstacle right now is the hospital, renissance hospital is not on my plan but the medical center of southeast texas is so i will have to talk to him about that. i will keep you updated. keep thinking positive.

oh no you can't say that. i went throught the same thing here in beaumont. my insurance will only pay for in network and christus isn't in network. the doctor is but not the facility. that really sucks because i wanted to use them. they are local and convient. i am going to houston and using garth davis. he has a show on tlc called big medicine. i can't find a doctor here so that is what i have to do. i know lots of people who had to jump through loops to get this done so don't let it get you down. you learn and keep going. i keep saying i am having it done then i change my mind. i can't seem to loose the weight myself. i think this is the only way i will be able to loose it. so i will have my surgery next month (hopefully) started the process yesterday. will keep you posted. take care and think postitive. it will happen.

well have you had it done yet? I tried to use the doctors here in Beaumont but my insurance won't cover them. That really sucks. i really liked who I spoke with on the phone so I guess i will be using a houston doctor. I know for some people it may not work but at least you tried it and it came be removed. You could go back and have the gastric bypass. I wish you much luck and keep us posted on your journey. I would love to hear about it. Thanks and take care:smile:

my sister used dr.Alanis for the gastic bypass last year and loved him. She said it was a very good experience. My brother-in-law also used him in May of 2008 to have the lap band. Everything went very smooth for both of them. Hope everything works out. I am still in the process. Good luck

I was wondering who your doctor was? I am currently looking into having the lap band since my insurance just approved it but i am having problems finding a doctor on my plan. i recently had surgery at st.elizabeth (gallbladder removed) and i had a wonderful experience. i had no clue they had this there. any info would be great. also, I am originally from Fannett also.
