 Hi!  I don't know if you received your answer or not.  But Dr. Whipple is my surgeon and I'm not required to do a 6 month supervised diet but my insurance is Tricare (not sure if that matters though).

Thank u so much for replying I was starting to think no one new who dr whipple was, how did he do on your surgery?

I am pre-op.  I do know a few women that have had him as a surgeon and they have nothing but good things to say.  He is the surgeon that all the WLS patients are being sent to from here at Fort Stewart.

There is actually a seminar tonight at the hospital at 6pm if you haven't been yet.  There's one every first Wednesday of the month.  How far along are you in the process?

I am waiting on them to verify my insurance and call me with an appointment to see him, he's already booked up through June!
