"The first surgeon's office I went to told me that they contacted my insurance and I was approved to go ahead with the other visits. After putting me through 5 visits, a lot of money, the insurance calls me and says no one called them. I have to start over and can not have the Lap Band. The insurance will pay for the Gastric and I have chosen Dr. Wade Barker of Dallas to be my new surgeon. I am still on the Healthy Weight coaching program and will not be able to meet the doctor until April. I am in hopes of having the surgery in early July! Will update later! rnrnUpdate!! I finally got to meet my new surgeon! Dr. Wade Barker! I love him! He is wonderful and was very informative as we talked and asked questions about the RNY surgery. My husband asked him a lot of questions too, so that put him more at ease with the upcoming surgery as well. rnDr. Wade Barker's staff is awesome! Each person was friendly and kind that I came in contact with. They all did their part in making me feel right at home and showed me that it is all going to be taken care of. No more mix ups last with the last surgeon! I will be having the surgery done at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas and that's just what I wanted! Dr. James Davidson will be Dr. Barker's assistant and that's great too because Dr. Davidson was my surgeon 17 years ago for another surgery. I have two great surgeons performing my surgery now! rnrnHere we go!!! Surgery date, July 14th! "
