What do you mean by if you were in a small town you would be worried. Again Fear is of the Devil live your life and keep your mind off the ground. Life is to precious. Most of us that communicate on this website is reaching for a a new happy life but what you are saying makes no sense to me at all whether you live in a small town or a town where there is 3 million people.

Fear is of the Devil I can't believe that question was presented to you or even in your mind. Look how far we have come as a nation and yet there is still so much ignorance lurking in minds. Look how many innocent kids and husbands and brothers Uncles and on and on that was murdered in Iraq due to the Bush administration, and assasination didn't come up once. Obama is the Best of both worlds Black and White do your research.

I have paid all of my co pays as well and have not had my appointment with the suregon yet. I have my appointment with the surgeon on the 12th and I have to pay the final $250.00 payment so if I don't get approved I will have lost close to $800.00 at this point. I have to take a chance and step out on faith because I really need this it will make my life so much more easier

Have you had your surgery yet? I am a patient hoping to have lap band surgery with Dr. Prickett and I have Tricare Prime. I started my journey on 09-09-08 and I finally have an appointment to meet the surgeron. This will be my first time meeting him but I have done all the required steps already and have had about 7 or 8 other appointments. I really would like to know how many times do you meet with the surgeon before the surgery?

How would you rate the office overall and the surgeron? I think I may be using Dr. Prickett just because his name is on my tricare referral.

I am just not sure at this point what I am waiting on. I have not seen the doctor but I have completed each step I have been asked to do by there office and they have all my results. I called the office on Wednesday and I think that was when Ms. Shelia said I was waiting on my package to be approved by Tricare, but how could that be when I have never seen the surgeron? I hate to keep calling I will wait until Wednesday adn give them a call if I have not heard anything by then.

Hi My name is Tara and I have started the process to receive the Realize Band. I haev been waiting and waiting to hear from Dr. Tribble's office as to when I am going to see the him. I have completed every test and procedure his office instructed me to do. It's like I am just waiting. Have anyone else had to wait and wait. I started this journey 09/09/08.
