The saga of my tender port continues

And by the way, as soon as I find out what's wrong with me, it will relieve a lot of stress. Once I can think clear again, I plan to start writing letters. My letters are famous for moving mountains. I think it's time INAMED and hell, George Bush (or Kerry for that matter) takes some responsiblity. This band has saved most of our lives. It should be the number 1 weight loss surgery in our country like in other countries, and insurance should be required to cover it. They'll pay for a coronary bypass - the band sounds way cheaper, no? WE NEED AFTERCARE, WE NEED AFTERCARE.... Penni, can you make up some signs?

What's that saying about expecting the worst but hoping for the best? That's me. Dr. Teng is in surgery all day, but I talked to Peggy in his office and 'splained the whole Penni/Billy conversation. He'll be in on Monday. It would be a huge relief if he'd just see me. I'm not extremely hopeful though, since Dr. Rumbault called the other local band doctor here (Fisher) and asked him to take me on, but Fisher said Nevada Med Mal insurance simply won't allow him to take on Mexican patients. Band, what band, I don't have a band - where's Mexico?

Lisa: Dr. Billy and I discussed the Fisher issue as well. He said that Fisher won't take on Mexico patients cause of his personal issues with people going to Mexico period. It "might" have to do with Med Mal Insurance but I get the impression it is more of a personal issue.

I think we should start a business --Endoscopy on Demand. We'll need one of those luxury motorhomes and some cute guy (and a cute female assistant for the guys) who will run the tube.

I'll be the guinea pig -- right after DeLarla, of course. :cool:

Hmm...maybe the tube runner should be the girl and the guy should be the assistant? To better hold my hand, of course.... :laugh

HA HA BECCA, you just invented the Band Wagon! I think mobile band services is a fab idea. Where do I sign? Not only will I be the guinea pig, but I want in on the business. A whole menu of items: Fills, Fills under Flouro, Port Manipulation, Endoscopy...

It's after lunch... no word from Teng's office. Phooey.
