"Hello I first met Dr.Bale in 11/04 when I first walked in the office the staff was very professional Theresa showed me the film about the gastric bypass surgery before I went in to see the Docter she went over the film I just watched pertaining to the surgery and answered all my questions I'm very confident with her, I already finished my insurance requirements in order to be approved. I had six months of dietician visits,psych evaluation,barium swallow,thyroid test,drug screening. that was what my insurance required everyone's insurance has different requirements. everything was completed 8/18/05. Theresa submitted everything now I'm waiting to hear back from them with approval \"I CANT WAIT\"...... Also Dr.Bale has a support group that meets every third Wednesday and I went on 8/24/05 at 6pm the turn out was wonderful. Very interesting it was post-op and pre-op patients there as well as those who had the surgery two years ago. I really enjoyed the discussion and will attend in the future. \"Im just waiting for a date\""
