bft33 0 Posted February 25, 2008 Hi all, Just got my date of 4/9. I've been going through the process for quite a while and it feels good to have everything taken care of. My doc wants me to go on 2 weeks of liquid before the surgery, so I'm trying not to get carried away with eating these next few weeks. I've been reading this forum for 4 or 5 months now and it has been very reassuring to hear from people who have gone through the same process. I'm sure as I get closer I'll be bombarding the boards with questions! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bandfan1 0 Posted March 23, 2008 I've head good things about Dr. Floch. He was my first choice, but he didn't take my insurance. I am going with Dr. Roberts out of Yale New Haven hospital. I am just waiting for insurance approval which they said should only take about 1 week. I am hoping for a May 1st surgery date. Good luck to you!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flstfgirl 0 Posted March 23, 2008 I'm hoping insurance will approve shortly so we can schedule in April.....Lynne...I noticed in your signature you went back & forth w/UHC to get approved. What sort of run around was UHC giving you? I have UHC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
