Surgeon Testimonial

Wade Nazari, M.D.
I want to say in my opinion Dr. Naziri is the best surgeon. I am very pleased. I have had no complications and feel like if I ever do, he will be there for me. everyone in the office seems to care. I can honestly say that I have no complaints about Dr. Naziri or any of the staff.

    Monday 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! ~ JudyAnne

Well, I think this journey with wls has just about done me in.  I can't take the ups and downs.  It is so heartbreaking.  I have been labled as moridly obese and massively obese for 4 months now.  And to find out that I have to live this way 6 more months.  No way.  I don't want to.  I met with Dr. Naziri yesterday.  Everthing went perfect.  I went to schedule my surgery.  I was so excited, they told me with BCBS I could get approval over the phone.  Then she tells me that since I don't have PPO, she will have to submit it and it could take 1 month.  My heartbroke.  Then she calls and they tell her that they can do approval over the phone after all.  So we make a date for June 25th.  I am so excited, I cried.  Well, then they tell her about pre-existing clause.  I just kind of went blank.  My sister was with me and she asked questions and found out that my insurance won't pay for my surgery until after Dec. 10.  When they tried to reschedule, I was so heartbroken that I didn't even want to deal with this anymore.  With the help of my sister, we came up with a date of Dec. 17, I think.  I am so, I don't even know a word to describe what I am feeling.  I have cried all day yesterday, all night, and all morning since I woke up.  I don't want to be like I am another 6 months.  And what makes it so hard is that I had my date for JUNE 25.    I don't know what to do.  Life is so unfair.
