sandokat 9 Posted September 4, 2008 Hi all. I am new at posting here but have lurked a long while! I finally got a date for my surgery! The Drs office called and I am set for September 18th. How fast that is! I went from not being sure my insurance would even approve it (Aetna) to having a date in 3 weeks. I have the mandetory nutrition class next week. How exciting. I have to give kudos to my family doctor, he called the insurance and fought for me. I am in Colorado, my surgeon is Dr. Synder. I really like him. Anyone else have experience with Dr. Synder?
