That is a ways away--is that the soonest appointment?
Congrats on getting close though, isn't it exciting?!?  I'm scheduled for Nov. 12th--started my 2 week preop diet today!

hi,  i just moved to cedar rapids from ohio.  Dr.Curry put my band in and its gone ok.  I am going to cedar falls to see Dr.Hodges he is in with Dr. Glass**** I really liked him,  Although I am really really tight after this last fill.  The staff was great and he was so sweet.  Hope that helps.

Topic: RE: My first appt is tomorrow!
I"ve had no problems with the insurance approval, the surgeons office sent the paperwork in on the 17th and I got the approval letter today, the 27th.  The longest part was getting the therapist to fax her letter over! She sat on it for 3 weeks, I think it was a passive-aggressive thing, since she was more overweight then I am.  I'm going to the U of I, and they have been super for me! Let me know if you want any other info!

Topic: RE: Any one from the Muscatine Area?
Hi Lori- I'm a ways from Muscatine (Independence). I'll be having my surgery in Cedar Falls on Nov 6th. I went to an informational meeting when I first started researching WLS. It was actually required in the whole process. You might check with surgeon's offices to see if they have something like this? Or you could always travel to Cedar Falls!

Topic: Any one from the Muscatine Area?
 Hello, this is my first post here.  I from Muscatine Iowa, and found this site while researching WLS.  Can anyone give me any information on any support groups available near me?  I found one that the U is hosting November 4, but it says it is a round table discussion.  I didn't know if that would be a good one for someone who is just in the process of finding out about and researching their options.  Any help and advice would be soo appreciated.  Thanks so much!
