I am from northeast Kansas and was wondering if there was anyone else on the board from Kansas?

Terry, not sure where that is. Tammy, you are not very far from me at all. Where are you having your surgery done? And who is your Doctor?

[welittle1 26]

Isntsheclever...how are you doing this far into your journey?

Terry, I know Iola well, late husband's family was from Savonburg & Iola

Terry, not sure where that is. Tammy, you are not very far from me at all. Where are you having your surgery done? And who is your Doctor?

welittle1: having surgery at St Francis in Topeka, Drs McAllister & Dunshee from TallGrass is doing the surgery (no date yet though)

Tammy, I also am having my surgery at St. Francis through tallgrass...Dr. Hamilton. I just had my phsyc appt last week, now just waiting for the surgeons office to call me so I can schedule.

I got back to the surgeon on Tuesday, then they'll submit everything to insurance & hopefully I'll find out what the out of pocket will be...still saving up for that..may get a loan depending on how much it is. I noticed from your profile we have a lot of similarities! That's awesome, especially since I know very few people around here

[welittle1 26]

Hi Tammy, I am self pay because my insurance won't cover any wls. Just got a call from tallgrass today and Oct. 17th is the day of surgery! Start my preop diet Oct. 7th. Dreading that :-( Good luck with your insurance!

[Tammy Ansley 16]

Wow glad to hear you got a surgery date!! If yours is October, mine will probably be November I was hoping it would be sooner, but oh well. Whatever it takes! If you need a 'buddy' I'm on Facebook & yahoo IM!

[welittle1 26]

Well it would have been sooner but due to work and my husbands work I can't start the pre op diet until the first of October. Everyone needs a buddy! I'm on Facebook also...will add you as a friend.

I go back to the surgeon tomorrow afternoon, and I'm kinda nervous (2nd visit, not sure what to expect). Working on my list of questions I want to ask, so of course my mind is blank...LOL

[welittle1 26]

There is a place on here that has a list of questions to ask.
