They called today and I called Dr Segura to schedule an appt for the evaluation but went to her voicemail and she hasn't called back yet. Did you see Dr Segura for your evaluation? How was she?

I went to a seminar with Surgical weight control center Atkinson/Soong on Feb 23rd and they said at the seminar they'd call the following week. I haven't received a call does anyone know how long I should give before I start calling. I don't want them to think I'm bugging them.

Checked in at 6:30 A.M Wednesday. Released 11:30 A.M Thursday. Less than 24 hours.

We have a Lap-Band support group in Southwest Las Vegas that I facilitate (I am a psychologist and  specialize in WLS) that we are trying to get off the ground. It has been slow but is progressing. My husband and business partner, Dominic Ricciardi, is a bariatric physician/internist and a FillCenters USA provider. He provides aftercare for folks who have had a band placed out of the state or out of country and have moved to NV. It is unfortunate, but local surgeons will typically not  allow patients who they have not operated on to attend their groups for liability  reasons. Right now, we have a Lap-Band support group that is open to the public but I am realizing that there is a major need for an RNY support group as well. I may combine the groups but I have found in the past that there are a lot of distinct issues with the different surgeries and so I prefer ideally to have two separate groups. We do charge a small fee for attendance ($5 for full time students,$20 for everyone else). If we were to set up a RNY group for the public would there be an  interest?

I tried posting this a while back and didn't get much of a response. My husband works for station casinos and has the ppo benefit planners/sierra healthcare options. I was wondering if anyone had that same insurance and got the surgery approved. They say it's a exclusion but Dr Atkinson is listed in the provider book.  Medicare is my secondary and they cover it but I was wondering about the other can't seem to get a straight answer when I call the insurance. Thanks for any help.
