AHHHHHHHHHHHHH it is now 3:16 and still NOTHING! Tammy: I have my cell here as well... everytime I get up I strain my ears for my phone.... I've even been P'ing at lightening speed! LOL I wish I knew if she was even IN today!

Malley fan here as well...... but like JBT.. I didn't meet any others.

CONGRATS and welcome to lbt!!!

I am on pins and needles.. I even ate lunch at my desk in fear that I may just miss the "call"............. so far its been in vain :help: ME I am going nuts.. I am making myself queezy....

Just saw this over on oh.com New Center of Excellence in Kansas!!! Original Post by Carolanne S at 5:19 PM CST on 02/05/2007 SOMEWHERE IN..., KS Shawnee Mission Medical Center was approved as of 1/24/07 as a center of excellence. That will allow medicare patients to have bariatric surgery in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The only question is wheather a surgeon associated with SMMC will perform surgery. I attended a seminar from Dr Hoehn and Dr Hitchcock and they were sort of reluctant to do medicare patients if SMMC were to become a COE due to the reimbursments from medicare. Its all about the money!

Not ONE Word.... :censored: :hurt Coming back with an edit: I COULD NOT STAND IT ANY LONGER so I called the office, and found out that the scheduling Nurse is doing all her scheduling on THURSDAYS... so I will be hearing from her tomorrow. Thank GOD... I think I need a drink now........ but since I'm at work.. dt. dr pepper will have to do.

Audrey: You are not the odd man out.. you are inspiring! Everyone is different and such will have different experiences. :typing:

I AM GOING FREAKING NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They only do their surgeries on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so chances are the nurse that schedules is at the hospital right now assisting...

WELCOME! and Good luck..... there are many on here that used the same doctor with great success! Have fun in mexio!
