Well how stupid is that ... OH WELL.  I won't let that deter me.  And yes, I have a doctor to follow-up with - he was all for it and actually encouraged me  Thanks for the head's up.

Tina really knows what she is doing and as soon as she sends in the paperwork, it only takes BC/BS a few days to reach their decision.  You can always call the insurance pre-cert # on the back of the card to find out your status. I have absolutely no patience and that's what I did.  I found out about the approval before the Dr's office did.  Have you already seen Brandon?  I misunderstood the instructions and didn't start my preop diet right away like I was supposed to. It's hard but very worth it!! I started it last Tuesday and I have already lost 5 lbs.
Are you going to be at the support meeting on the 18th?
Best of luck to you!
You take care too!!

Just call the office and ask Tina if you can attend the group. I know that Dr. Hanna's patients come to our group from time to time.

Yes, he did mention it; however, since that seminar, I have found out that my insurance will not cover the cost of any WLS; therefore, I am going to be a self-pay and I can't afford Dr. Teng's price.  So I am going to Dr. Aceves in Mexicali.

I didn't know if I would be welcomed to attend Dr. Teng's support group since he won't be doing my surgery.  If I can, I would LOVE to attend the meetings.

Do you know if that would be allowed?
