"Update July 21, 2003: Met with Kathy at Dr. Facundus office will meet with Doctor on august 8. Insurance no problem. They just wanted to change the procedure code. I need an angel. Help!
Update July 1, 2003: I had to change surgeons due to the extremely high co-pay. I am now considering the lap rny with Dr. Facundus. He is one of the best in Alabama. I will meet with his staff on July 14. I am really nervous but I will overcome that fear because I have no other choice.
I met with Dr Paynter on May 5, 2003. He was a very nice and I was impressed with him. He explained everything to me about the surgery and I feel he will make a great surgeon. I was also pleased with his staff. They were really nice and seemed concerned about me even though they didn't know me. I am waiting for my insurance company to get with it."
