I'm approved for surgery on 2/5/07 by Dr. Allen at Norton's!

Hi everyone. I've finally been approved (Humana) for Lap Band surgery by Dr. Allen at Norton's on February 5, 2007. It's taken me since May 2006 to get approval, mainly because I had to fulfill an insurance requirement of six months of medically supervised weight loss program. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! Karen from Owensboro, KY

Congrats on your date. I will be praying for you to have an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. Beth

Thank you Beth. Prayer changes things! Karen

Congratulations on your date Karen. Soon you will be on the loser bench with the rest of us.

Way to go...but, I'm jealous...hope to get my date soon...

I'll pray for you that it will come soon! Karen

Thanks Amy. I'm ready to be a loser and love it! Karen

ALL right Karen!!! I have been waiting forever too, but for different reasons. Mainly hosp red tape, but hopefully mine will be Feb 6. That is what they are shooting for. I live in Henderson and Dr. Burry at Deaconess is doing mine. Hear anything about him? They all say he is good, but I hope they are right. I trust him. Good luck and keep us posted... Sandi

Hi Sandi. I haven't heard anything about Dr. Burry. Are you having Gastric Bypass? It's nice to have a neighbor who's a newbie too. Let's stay in touch. Karen
