A lil light SHINES thru...
Mar 12, 2009
TODAY! I got some good news! You guys know that I really really really want to have the duodenal switch. I have been attending Dr Maynard support group meets, and I really want Dr. Maynard to preform my DS surgery. ONLY he is not covered by my insurance company (UHC)...URRGH!!! However I did speak with my bariatric nurse today and she told me that UHC is meeting on Monday to discuss including Dr. Maynard, other surgeons and hospitals in network.. THAT'S FREAKING GREAT RIGHT... My nurse told me that she will call me as soon as they let her know about Dr. Maynard status! I AM SO EXCITED, LIKE I SAID A LIL LIGHT SHINES THROUGH!! YEA!! So that means I will probably know something before I attend his support group meeting on Thursday March 19Th. That's pretty awesome news too.!!!!!!
ALSO! today I found a plan B. Yes y'all a plan B. Every good woman has one. Lol!! I was on Dsfacts.com today and I FOUND DR. ALBERT SPAW IN NASHVILLE TN.(It's a 4 hour drive but I am willing to travel for the surgery I want!!!) He is a DS surgeon in fact he does (LAP)-lap band and (LAP) rny too. Anyhoo he is in network for UHC!! That was even more awesome news for me today despite how things have been going for the last few weeks. I did a lot of research on Dr. Spaw and I am still doing research on him. He does not have a program fee! Also great news! I spoke with the nurse at his office and she was incredibility sweet. So IF Dr. Maynard do not pull through then Dr. Spaw is my next option. Oh did I mention Both surgeon's perform the DS OPEN! So I am pretty much OK "NOW" with the open. (I wasn't always OK with it)
I RE-FAXED OVER MY SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS TO MY BEHAVIOR NURSE AND SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WILL CALL ME IN A FEW DAYS AFTER SHE CHECK THE MEETINGS. I hope it's what she is looking for because you never know!!! SO IF THAT CLEARS IN A FEW DAYS THEN I WILL ALMOST BE AT THE FINISH LINE!!!!! YEA YEA..
OH I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO SEE A CARDIOLOGIST ON MARCH 17TH. That it for now readers I will update when more comes!! May you all continue to keep me in your prayers. Yes this too shall pass!
