Surgeon Testimonial

Marc Antonetti
Dr. Marc Antonetti was really great. His office staff was very good and very supportive. They did not make me feel like I was a bad person or anything, they treated me with respect and dignity. I don't have anything to say about the surgeon, but I've been calling someone in his office named Lisa for 2 days and she has not called me back. I left anothermessage today.rnrnToday is 12/11/2007, and I'm getting very upset with Riverside surgical. My insurance tells me that my adjustments are covered now and because they have had problems with BCBS covering this in the past, they want me to pay $200 upfront and then let them file it for me. My insurance says that they should file first. I've called and spoken to the office manager and given them a number to call my insurance to confirm that the procedure is fully covered now, but they refuse to call me back. I would hate to think that they just want money and are not looking out for the interest of their patiens.

Describe your behavioral and emotional battle with weight control before learning about bariatric surgery.
I tried it all, exercising, portion control, diet pills (prescribed) and I had some successes, but as the health problems increased, I had to stop taking the diet pill along with my regular meds. I was a mess, and gaining more weight each year.

    Tuesday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

    Brenda, Congratulations on your surgery date. I'm praying for smooth sailing and a speedy recovery. Sounds like you have the presurgery jitters. It's natural and I had them to. Try to relax; drinking warm herbal tea and reading a good book helped me.

Mad as Hell with Riverside Surgical
posted on 12/12/07 12:16 pm
I'm so upset with those women at Riverside surgical, I could spit nails. I've been on the phone with the women since last week trying to tell them that my insurance would cover my adjustment, and I wanted to do it in Dec. while I had my deductible met, but now they call me and say, Oh your insurance will pay for your adjustment up to 90%, but we don't have any more appts left for Dec. We can schedule you for the 14th of January, which my deductible will go up and will not be close to being met. I think it is just a conspiracy to get money up front. I've been telling them for 2 weeks that I was covered.
