5.11.09 Initial consultation and got ball started..

May 11, 2009

My son, Ryan and I drove up to meet with Dr. Evanson and crew today at St. Vincent's Bariatric center in Carmel. NICE people! We found out all of the things that I need to start getting together for my approval (if I get approved).  Dr. Evanson said that I should have the RNY surgery and that I was a perfect candidate for it, especially to cure my diabetes. ****YAY*** I wanted to cry from happiness. To hear those words-- yes, there is a cure-- is a miracle in itself. 

I have to get a letter to my husbands boss so that he can submit it to the insurance broker (Lori) to get a quote for a medical rider to be added to the company's insurance policy in October.  I am PRAYING that this is not a huge amount since adding this will increaes the entire group's rates. It just seems so unfair to ask him to pay more for all the people that work there JUST for me and my surgery.  We will see what  happens.

I also need to get a letter of pre-authorization from my family physican and my specialist to have that faxed to Colleen(I believe that is her name).  Hopefully we can get the paperwork submitted in a timely manner.

Ok. It's almost 3 AM but I wanted to make notes before I forgot what happened today. Anyway, good night!
