Thank you and you are right.  I decided that it was time for me to start really taking reponsibility for my health and do what I need to to.

Good luck to you too!!

See what not giving up does? I am happy that you got the nudge to check again. I have not had surgery yet but I am hoping to.  I have been vehement about seeing all that I need to do so I don't run into any road blocks when my info is submitted for approval.  Don't you just love this board! LOL

Good luck lady and I hope to see you on the 'losers' table!

Ok, I just got off the phone with First Choice and was told by them that they do not have a 6 month diet requirement.  I was told that if it is deemed medically necessary it will be approved.  I know that my current PCP has recommeded it and will give me a referral so I guess I will call Dr. Ross' office and find out exactly what I need to do.

I was told that's what the insurance requires.

I haven't had that problem  & I have First Choice. If I may ask, why do you have to go through the 6th month diet? Please, if you have your heart set on this surgery, by all means DO NOT give up!! I will also be asking around for you!

Topic: I give up
A couple of months ago I found out that my PCP would not do the 6 month dr supervised diet that my insurance requires so I decided to find another doctor.  My insurance is First Choice by Selct Health (Medicaid).  So I called them up and had them send out the provider directory.  I have called every name in Greenville and Spartanburg that they have in that book and all I have gotten is "Sorry we are not accepting new patients at this time" or "We don't accept that insurance."  I don't know what else to do and I have basically given up.  If anyone knows of anyone who can help me, I would appreciate it.  Thanks.

Thanks! I contacted Dr. Strickland's office yesterday and set up to go to the initial seminar tomorrow night.  I'm excited!

That is great. All three of the surgeons are good. There is just something about Dr. Strickland that makes you feel special. Keep me posted on your progress.
