Thank Goodness I Can Still Drink Lemonade or What to Do with Lemons (Pre-surgery)

3/24/11: Appointment with my DO about a non-WLS matter. Noted that in the last two weeks, I lost 3 lbs.

3/28/11: Jan, from Dr. Heohn's office called to set up my initial appointment with Dr. Hoehn. She made no mention of our earlier conversation in which she said my insurance was limited to $10,000 and would not coverage a fraction of the total costs. She said that I should bring a list of current medications and the $500 program fee. I asked if this could be paid with my flex benefit card. She said it can. She asked if I understood how to get to the office. I replied that I had no idea where the office was, I had been only to the place where the seminar is held. Her directions are to take highway 35 to 75th Street, east on 75th, left at the light near McDonalds, then right into the parking lot. I asked if there was an address. She huffed somehting about it being suite 230, the address is 9301 W. 74th Street; Merriam, KS; but said she had yet to see 74th street anywhere, the address won't help. I wish I could convey her tone - it is hard to feel good about dealing with Dr. Hoehn and his staff when my contact is so thoroughly hateful-sounding.

Upcoming appointments:

4/11/11 @ 12:30 Initial Appointment with Dr. Hoehn
