  17. Hello, I'm having my surgery done in Richardson, TX on the 23rd of March. But I live in San Diego, CA. I was hoping I could get some reccomendations for a Dr here in the San Diego Area for my fills? Does anyone know of a good Dr they would reccommend? Thanks soo much! Kristi
  18. ***..OR PPO?...i was also denied...because in my insurance stipulation..i had to be at my current weight/BMI for 3 consecutive years...which to me is horrible..and NOT standard of care. Its very frustrating and emotionally draining..hang in there...because there are alot of options.
  19. What insurance do you have?
  20. I had my EGD on Wed...and yes I have a hernia..so surgery is scheduled for March 23rd. Ready to start my new life...just very nervous about the pain and trying to walk after surgery...
  21. Cowgirl, I love to run...and usually work out 5 days a week. When do you think I should start running again..maybe 2 months to be safe? also..what about push ups, and sit ups...should I wait on that too?
  22. wow Alli....I was in the same situation as you. My insurance denied me as well. I am doing the same test on Wed with the camera to see if i have hernia. My question to you is...how long after you had that test done did you get the surgery? I'm also going to True Results in Richardson, TX.... they are really amazing.
  23. Cowgirl, what did you do to have a port revision? How did you push yourself too hard?
