Thank's to you I found a wonderful Doctor. Scary that people can be treated like a number. I am glad that you have moved on and got yourself a good Doctor Good Luck !!!!

Thanks Yeah I ended up choosing Dr. Keith Norton Marshall. I am excited to get my process on the way. I am hoping to have my surgery by July or August. I just started my healthy weight loss coach call and have my appointment with the dietician schedules. My Seminar is on Monday So excited. My Insurance requires that you have to be 18years old, have a psych evaluation ,6 months recorded diet and that's it. I am sure there will be things that the surgeon will want me to have done for hi knowledge. Other than that excited for a new me. Thanks Jen

Hi there My name is Jennifer I am 31 years old and I am married and have three kids.I have been in the same boat with you about dieting.It's very exciting to here that our insurance will cover a procedure like this.The only criteria my insurance requires is that I have to be 18 years old, Have a BMI at 40 which I am 41,have to have a phyc evaluation,and 6 months of nutrition via telephone. I go to my seminar on Monday so I am excited about that.After that she said that a nurse coordinator will contact me and set me up with the rest of my appointments. It sounds like you and I might be banded around the same time I am keeping my journey quiet for a few reason's so other than my husband this will be my support on here. Good luck with your journey and I look forward to seeing your post. Have a great day.

Great Thank you !!! I think Saginaw is alittle to far for me I live 20 minutes South East of Detroit. I found a Doctor he's about an hour away from my house but the man has 21 years experince and has alot of great reviews. I am going to attend his seminar Monday. Wish me luck I cant wait to start my process and get things going. Thanks Again Jen

Thanks everyone I have united health and they require you to go through Optum health. I have to use a Dr in my net work. I have to go through either Henry Ford Hospital Downtown or Macomb County hospital. After a little research I am choosing to go meet Dr.Keith.Norton.Marshall. He has been doing these surgerys for 21 year's. I have read his reviews and sounds like he has alot of good reviews. How many surgeon's did you all go through before picking "The One" ?
