Well, I talked with Jan at WRAMC and she put me on the list, but yes the wait is 2 years! Eek. So....she referred me out on the economy and I have an appointment in just over 2 weeks to see Dr. Cook, who is a new doc doing the surgery with Dr. Kirkpatrick and Dr. Fenelli at WHC. I have gotten a head start and had my PCP put in the consult for a lot of the tests I know he's going to want. I had my EKG and chest x-ray today. I guess I am on my way.

Lee, You guys must be at PAX...we just left Dahlgren, VA. I looked into having my surgery at Walter Reed, however, there was a two year waiting list, and they flat out told me I had to see a civilian. I had my surgery done at Georgetown University Hospital with Dr. Kalan. He takes Tricare. I know of another girl who's husband is stationed at Pax who had her surgery there too. (actually I know of about 3 other military spouses from the DC area who have used Dr. Kalan). If you have any questions, or if I can be of any help, just shoot me an email! ~Eileen~
