:thumbup:My journey so far-From the time I inquired to seeing my PCP, going to Dr. Oliak's seminar, seeing the Psych, and meeting with the dietician it's been a month. I am 5 days into waiting for PacifiCare to approve me meeting with Dr. Oliak (surgeon). :thumbup:

:eek:What!! This is the second time I hear about a $4000 out of pocket exepense. I am going to make this a point when I meet with his PAC on Dec 18th. I did ask Melanie in an email, but she didn't respond with an answer...Hmmmm:sneaky:

So, what did you mean by Dr Oliaks out of pocket cash cost? I am not aware of this. I have contacted Melanie at Dr Oliaks office to ask her about this. I was under the impression, that my insurance would cover all medicall nessecary cost. Uh oh! Well, talk to you soon! -
I am also, waiting for the insurance approval ( it has been two weeks) I am thinking I will have the procedure in Jan. Depending on Oliaks waiting list. What insurance do you have?

Maybe we will! I am actually over the nervous feeling ( for now) I have been wanting to do this for a long time but, my nerves kept me from it. So, my feelings now are more like COME ON LET'S GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD! You know what I mean? Once you start the process you want it to speed up, so you can start seeing results. I look forward to hearing about your progress in this lengthy process. -
Hey congrats! It must feel nice to lose and not gain! Do u do your check ups with Oliak or Daoud? and who will do ur fill since u mention it?
-
All I can say is what has been said before. Only you know if you should, and if you can tolerate it. Although, there are complications there are also pros!

Hello there! It's been a few days, and I have to thank you for answering all my questions and concerns. I took ur advice and asked about Chapman being contracted with Pacificare, and well they aren't. They sent the request for surgery to be done at Orange Coast Memorial. Which, I found out is still a Bariatric excellence hospital. Thus, I am glad. Anyways, girl how are you and how is the weight loss coming along?

HOWDY! Dr Oliaks office sent the surgery approval on MOnday, so I am pretty darn excited it is getting very close. I hear oliak has a 3 month wait, especially with holidays and stuff. I hope in Jan I am banded! Let me know how things go with you and your process. I would appreciate it! -
Lucky me I guess because I live 10 min from Chapman Med Ctr. Did Dr Oliak order for you to be out for 2 1/2 weeks or was that your choice? Hey more time to stay at home I guess right? hehe

Hello there!
So a week huh. Is that how much time off of work you took? I only ask because I am in the process of putting the Medical Leave of Absence in and want to give some kind of estimate. I guess I have to wait and see . I hear so many bad things about the gas pains....that's gotta suck but,well worth it! I hope you are having a great week. Look forward to more chatting.
P/s have you gone to any of the post procedure group support meetings?
