ok....so, i called to see whats going on w/my dr bc he was on personal leave. only to find out his leave has been extended to june, & may not even be returning!!! "WTF"?!?!? all the hard work of of his patients have done, & goin through nutrition class for 9 WEEKS, psych eval, & no courtesy call, no letter, N*O*T*H*I*N*G!!!!  i am just so beside myself @ this point!! i mean how dicouraging can this be?? then i ask the nurse well, is he going to recommend another surgeon??? & she stated no, there is not any other surgeon!! i said to myself oh, thats right....because he was "THE BEST" surgeon in town!!!! (wonder what happened to that) to all of my friends from class, & that are patients of dr. steeb, i am sooo sorry this has happened to us all! but there is still hope out there 4 us!! continue doing what we have learned, & worked so hard to accomplish. DON'T ALLOW THE DEVIL TO STEAL UR JOY! this has been such an emotional rollercoaster between waiting 4 the award letter, waiting 4 him 2 get back, but...somethings gonna come through! if i find a new dr, i will def look out 4 all of u as well! so depressing, & what a huge let down!! we will continue to eachother every step of the way! ~me

Thanks for the info - that's interesting ----anytime Medicaid pays for something, it is usually cause Group Benefits does also.....

I work for the State of LA and they do not cover any weight loss surgery.  Is this the state insurance you are referring to?

Thanx soo much Kaylee's mommy..I definitely will do. Hopefully one evening I'll have off and can attend.

Hi Frances!  This sounds like alot of fun!  I will certainly give this alot of consideration.
I love P'ville also.  We have lived here for 18 years now.  I work at LC in the bookstore, but I did not start until April 2000.  My husband and daughter are LC alums and I have 2 sons going to school there right now. 

Keep me posted because I am a big procrastinator (sp?) about this.  Scared I guess, but I do want to do it.  The 40 mile bike ride sounds like great fun, I have always wanted to do something like that.
