Thanks Kristi ... I'd love to meet up with you too ... I'm in (unless I just had surgery of course) Fort Collins a lot usually, so once I'm back up on my feet, I'd love to meet up with ya!

Glad to know you're home and doing better.  Would love to get together with you and Jeannie sometime.

This question is for Dr. Snyder's patients.  I emailed a question (about a fill) last week to a member of Dr. Snyder's staff.  I have not yet received a response. 

Also, before surgery, I emailed and left voice mails for a couple of members of his staff on several occasions.  Sometimes I received a call back after several days - sometimes I never did and had to initiate another call and start all over again.

So I'm thinking that either the practice is understaffed or people take patient questions very casually.

Am I being unreasonable?  Has anyone else had similar experiences?
Thanks.

I don't think finding a Doc who would be covered.  The main thing is to make sure your Insurance company covers bariatric surgery and which kind.  Some companies only cover lap band while others cover any type of insurance with thorough documentation from several sources before they would authorize surgery.  Trust me I went through all of this but it has been worth every challenge so far!

Before I found out that my insurance will cover lapband surgery, I had researched Dr. K in Aurora, CO also.  Every post that I have seen regarding him are extremely positive!  If you haven't already, check out his website.  I have no idea what it costs in mexico, but Dr. K's price and follow up costs seem very reasonable! 

Good luck!
