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.

3 comments | Click here to leave a comment.I am jumping up and down and I've been on cloud nine ALL DAY !~!! I have a class on July 11th at my surgeons office going over what to expect before, during and after surgery....She told me today that your surgery date is usually about two weeks after this class... that will put me at the end of JULY.....which is perfect.!!! Escrow closes on our new house on July 15th, so hopefully we'll get all moved and shortly after I'll have surgery and be able to stay home for a few weeks or so in my new house.... YIPPEEE !!! Thanks everyone for your encouragement and support. !!... lots of hugsssss
Another darn Insurance bump !! on June 17, 2008 7:47 am Well,
1 comment | Click here to leave a comment.I got a letter from the medical group this past saturday. It stated "need extention to make decision, more infomation needed" Been here, done that right before they denied my Surgeon consult.... I am soo discouraged !! They were referring to my 6 month physician supervised diet. Same problem that I had before... :( If I have any advice for anyone that is trying to get approval for surgery...MAKE SURE THAT YOUR DOCTOR (PCP or SURGEON) DOCUMENTS TO THE INSURANCE STANDARDS FROM YOUR VERY FIRST APPOINTMENT month 1 of 6 and every month thereafter, ask your doctor for a copy of their docs from each and every appt...have make changes or add info that day if needed.... Anyhow, I called my surgeon's office yesterday and couldn't get a person on the phone so I drove 30 minutes one way to their office and talked to someone in person...I also took ALL my documentation with me and told them to resubmit with everything... Hopefully they will and I will have an approval soon... I will be crushed if it comes back DENIED !!! Please keep me in your prayers as I do for all of you :) Thank you!! Hugsssss

1 comment | Click here to leave a comment.I think it went well... The psychiatrist was extremely nice, very easy to talk too and was very, very easy to look at... :o) So, Im am done with my testing... Just have the two classes to attend on June 10th and 11th.. I will be calling my surgeons office on the 12th to remind that everything is complete and hopefully they will submit for surgery right away... so excited !!! Trying to stay positive :) July would be a good time to have surgery since my 13 yr old will be out of school.. He can be mom's lil' helper ( well not so lil' these days, he's passed me in height by a couple inces..haha) I went to my CPAP machine training class today..... Oh joy !! I should be starting my machine tonight but "OOpppsss" I forgot to buy distilled water... As much as I dont really want to use the thing I know that I need to at least try.... I'll give it a whirl tomorrow night and let ya all know how it works out.... :o) Hugggsssss ... My Story Hi... I'm not very good when it comes to writing or talking about myself but as time goes on and the more I read others profiles on this WONDERFUL site I realize that I would be selfish not to least try. I'd like to start by Thanking each of you for sharing your stories and inspiring those of us out here that didn't know where to begin. I think I've come a long way already just by reading what has been shared by others here on OH.. I so appreciate everyone here !! As most of you know, obesity is a very lonely place. OH has become my "out" when I'm feeling alone.. Truth of the matter is, I'm not alone and neither are you... We all have each other right here and I believe because of the support we all give each other, we will all come out of this much stronger people .....So again, THANK YOU !!! I've been the "big girl" all of my life. I feel fortunate that in my school years I was never teased or made fun of. I always had friends, boy-friends, etc and my weight really wasn't an issue until my adult years when I started to become self-conscious and my weight started to take over my life. Food became my best friend and now that I'm trying to cut that friendship (with food) . My life has become extremely lonely and I'm soooo ready for a change... I am married, I have been with the same man for over 25 yrs. We have two boys, ages 19 & 13. Thank the good Lord for them two, they are what has kept me going over the years... My husband, hmmmmm...let's just say he is very scared that something may go wrong with surgery. That's understandable... but really he should be afraid for me every day that I go on with out this surgery....I feel as though I am a bomb, ready to explode. My health has only gotten worse with age..hmmm, how does that happen...haha Anyhow, I am ready !!! I know and believe in my heart that this is that tool that I sooo desperately need to help me become a Healthier, Happier me :) Music Video:http://216.180.244.187/videos/c/christina_aguilera/beautiful.html" target='_blank'>BEAUTIFUL (by Christina Aguilera) |
