Surgeon Testimonial

Douglas M. Krahn
Nothing but good things to say about Dr Krahn, his Assistant Brian and the entire staff.
From my very first seminar, to my consultation and now after my surgery, they have taken excellent care of me and given very good education both pre and postop.
I sincerely feel as though Dr Krahn and his staff truly care.. that is priceless !!
I did have a complication after surgery but even so, I was completely comfortable knowing that they were doing everything possible to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.

Letter from Medical Group
on February 20, 2008 7:20 pm
Well today I got home and there was a letter from my medical group. Do you know I sat there and held that letter for about five minutes before I could get myself to open it..? Silly me... I was so afraid of seeing that word "DENIED". 

I don't know if this is a good or bad thing but it was a letter for an extention to make the final decision. It stated that they needed more information and If that information was submitted within 45 days they would make a decision within 5 days... Unfortunately it didn't say what more they needed.. So first thing tomorrow am I will call my PCP and hopefully they will know more and we can submit it quickly...
Anyhow.... Shame on me... I should be more positive..
I will update when I find out more...

Get Healthy and be Happy :)

Finally submitting for RNY
on February 8, 2008 8:10 pm
Well Today was my 6th month visit with my primary doctor in whom I've been seeing once a month for the past six months documenting my diet progress as my Medical group has requested to even be considered for Surgery...Yahoo!!!... now the fun begins- Waiting... 
Although I've only lost 10lbs in the past 6 months, my doctor was impressed with my logging and thinks that I have a really good chance in a quick approval. I put together a bound book of documentation from previous doctors, diets, excercise programs and I even included photos.. I asked for my current doctor to add their records from the past 6 months including documention from dietician visits and to call me and I will hand deliver to Medial group myself... If nothing else my submittal will totally stand out from all others... Hopefully it will show the right person just how much I really want and need this sugery....I'm really hoping for a a quick approval :) Keep me in your prayers...
