UHC and Dr. Spiegel

[YellowRose 0]

Alison, Because of your message I googled Dr. Turnquest and liked what I read, then I went to see him on Thursday. He was so kind and human like, Actually sat down in a chair and talked to me as a person. Now I am waiting to hear back from UHC again. I was already approved thru Speigal, so hopefully it will go thru pretty easy. Thanks

I had my surgery with Dr. Spiegel and I would do it over again if I had to. Dr. Spiegel does care very much about his patients and has his instructions for his patients to have ultimate success. I have lost 95lbs so far, and I am very happy. The one thing that also helps me is that Dr. Spiegel has a support group. It is a good idea to come to the support groups. You get to meet other patients who have traveled thru this journey and they help you and you help them. Dr. Spiegel also takes his time to speak with his patients when they go in for there follow-ups and he does his own fills unlike othere surgeons who do not. He gives excellent patient care, and patient education. I am proud to be one of his patients. As for him no longer being in the UHC network he has his reasons of doing so. I know others who have UHC that have decided to pay for their surgeries. I would pay for the surgery out-of-pocket because I know that in the long run I would be saving money for medications and diet pills. I have calculated that If I did not have the surgery I would be paying a whole lot more in the long run for diet pills and other diet fads.

Hi again, YellowRose...

Have you had to have any fills or unfills with Dr Turnquest? I am curious if this is doctor specific. Do you have to have more or less with some doctors? Is it a matter of the doctor getting it right the first time.

Dr. T gave me 3 fills in the first year. (remember the first years fills are part of your surgery)
